Shouldn't meeting performance goals consistently insure credibility ?
Cube seems to consistently meet performance standards, and on time. As the below press release seems to show. Now I know that when we talk about how the market translates this into the price of Cube's stock is not necessarily relevant. But, I believe that when you talk about sh-t or cream it will eventually float to the top. ( I hope :-)
