<..Send 'em a get well soon card. ;)..> lol but my point is the potential for a rift with the street (both sides) that can cause cowboy metric targets - which could lead to disappointments. EXDS guides the street VERY carefully - so it has to be careful not to make these people look too bad (by being so far ahead of numbers they guide) that was a large part of todays near end of Q tour as well as last week's bullish comments - even though nobody raised revs as a result, but just expressed confidence (as today) of EXDS beating them. but next Q we MIGHT see more occurrences of higher (and harder) metric bars to clear. btw, good information week article. thanks - i missed it in my hard copy this week.
