Miss Analyst Regrets

Call me perverse if you like, but when some link someplace showed me this headline

Sony Tumbles After Forecasts Miss Analyst Estimates

[from Bloomberg Business Week, 13 May 2010]

I read it with the sense that would be implied by punctuating it thus: "Sony Tumbles After Forecasts, Miss Analyst Estimates".

I found myself wondering who was this Miss Analyst? I was rather disappointed when I realized that she existed only in my imagination.
