not getting very accurate guidance. the analysts are only doing what they can with what they are given. there is also the idea that right after the measures were passed in 2003, people were on their best behavior. 2004 and 2005 when the microscope was on them. once they felt it had shifted, they went back to their old ways. quality started to suffer. we've seen a decline in accuracy. the test used in the study, they did not determine a cause, but the authors speculate on what is going on. run anything to show why this has been, but they inferred it has been starting with the companies and the quality of information they are giving to the analyst. i think they were planning on doing more of that in the future. have concluded the

analyst forecasts are less accurate than they were before the measure is passed. it sounds like what we're talking about is due diligence, at least on the company's part. is there anything that can compel companies to release more detailed reports? >> i think one of the big issues is the lack of clarity. they have set the bar low, so it is an easy hurdle to jump over before they denounce earnings -- announce earnings. that may play into the idea they are not getting as good of information because maybe they notwithholding or they are being as transparent as they should be. it is ironic because that was the whole point of sarbanes-oxley to solidify criteria for financial and accounting data. mark: what impact is this having on the market? >> it is basically just resulting in analyst throwing
