Those Short-Sighted Attacks on Quarterly Earnings. Robert Pozen, Mark Roe, October 7, 2016, Opinion, "The clamor against so-called corporate short-term thinking has been steadily rising, with a recent focus on eliminating the quarterly earnings report that public firms issue. Quarterly reports are said to push management to forgo attractive long-term projects to meet the expectations of investors and traders who want smooth, rising earnings from quarter to quarter." Link
