I do hope they'll tell us what's going on!
Unfortunately, HP/TAG is not communicating with us. Total silence is their remedy for SNFUs.

I have noticed an issue with Amazon earnings over the past several days that I hope HP will address. An earnings value is posted but in a day or two it drops, sometimes by a significant amount. It seems something is wonky with the initial calculation and it is later fixed.I understand the earnings...
