Then... from this idiot's perspective, what exactly are the stockholders upset about? The drop in market share in areas they don't even advertise in? Or lack of faith perhaps? I'm seriously not putting it together... and don't mind being spoonfed what I'm missing.

I won't read too deeply into the commentary from Endgadget. I'm asking you lot to make it make more sense to me. The numbers initially don't look good though.

Thanks in advance. I'm looking at the global market, not just the one in the US.
