The company's management shift was seen by analysts as less of an issue than the earnings disappointment.

There is no room for an earnings disappointment in these companies' share prices.

"Whether it is a slowdown in sales or a potential earnings disappointment."

With the economy in a recession, earnings disappointments are to be expected.

If there's any hint there will be an earnings disappointment, you try to stay clear.

So I think we're going to see a raft of earnings disappointments.

Some earnings disappointments later this year could take all the "up" out of the market.
