You are looking at it the wrong way....you must compare apples to apples by comparing first Q '96 to Q1 '97 not this quarter against 4 rth Q. Companies all have traditionally better and worse quarters . For APCC Q1 is historically the worst and Q4 is the best:

First Q '96.....141.6 million sales and earnings of 16 cents/share
First Q '97.....172 million sales and earnings of 22 cents/ share

that = 21.6% sales growth and 38% earnings growth for comparable Q.

If the following quarter grows at 23 % it will be against Q2 of last year which was better than Q1 and so on.....if Q4 grows the anticipated 29% it will mean earnings for that Quarter of 41.28 cents /share.......thats alot to look forward to for a 19 dollar stock.........

Last trade on instinet was 19, I think all the sellers are done...;^)
