If you plan to buy at 7 what do you think a 6 month target would be? What do you think of FirstCalls 5 yr growth rate. Do you think it is accurate? Do you think the downward recommendations are due to the price of stock falling or to problems within the company and/or upcoming earnings? Sorry to hit you with all these questions but you seem to have the correct take on this stock. Thank you, Jane Kirk
