>HWP is great at missing their number

I'm not sure who has ownership of the number; isn't it the analysts' expectations? HP runs a conservative business; they could easily squeeze out an extra penny or two and meet expectations, but they don't seem to be concerned about the short term reactions of the market (which can be an annoyance to us long term holders). They are focused on long term growth and profitability, and have done an impressive job.

HP had built a pretty solid base at 65. The Prudential upgrade may have been the trigger, but this stock was set for a run.

imho, Frank
