But they said the same thing last quarter. EPS for the quarter were fine, but the bookings were down. They said bookings would pick up during the rest of the year. Well, here we are almost through the next quarter, and based on announced new contracts, I have not seen a major pickup in new orders. I would be kind of surprised to see the market buy comments like "wait of the 4th quarter, this will be our best booking quarter of the year" They can tell us that EPS will grow 15-20% going forward, but unless they get lots of new orders, I just can not see how this is going to happen. I am not selling, but I am getting very nervous. Today it did not take much volume to drop the stock nearly $2. I do want to believe!

Next time someone talks to the company, do not ask about EPS. Ask about new orders and backlog levels.
