NO! quite simply YOU are wrong.. here is the part of my post in question: "what i am claiming is that PROJECTED GROWTH for USAT is not slowing. say they have 10,500 ports shipped between last december and now. that is a 7 month timeframe. between now and the end of the year, 6 months, they will approximately double that." lets take it line by line: "what i am claiming is that PROJECTED GROWTH for USAT is not slowing" thats pretty clear. what they will be ordering in the future is greater than what they have ordered in the past. since we are limiting our comparison to what will happen by the end of the year, we can only compare on a monthly basis. nobody said that USAT will only be ordering 9500 ports in total altogether, just 9500 ports by the end of the year. like i said, to compare projected growth we need to look at an average figure. i chose monthly average. "say they have 10,500 ports shipped between last december and now." that stmt is pretty clear "that is a 7 month timeframe." it took them 7 months (at minimum) to get 10500 ports. pretty clear statement. "between now and the end of the year, 6 months, they will approximately double that." from now until the end of the year is about 6 months i am referring to a APPROXIMATE (1.90 times) doubling of ports. from 10500 to 20000, or an additional 9500 ports now divide 9500 by 6 months and you get 1583.3333 ports per month. divide 10500 by 7 months and you get 1500 ports per month. 1583.333 is greater than 1500 per month so the projected growth rate is increasing. NOW, this is an excellent example of 1) you aint too smart 2) you twist the facts to suit your needs probably a combination of both. there will be no quizzes later.
