Agree 100% Growth has been incredible! One thing I'd prefer to see though is less optimistic projections out of NT. They've set the bar very high for themselves which introduces more risk they might miss. Better to see less promotion and leave themselves some elbow room given how hard it really is to make these forecasts. I know NT management is confident but it's hard to convince the street given all the nervousness these days. The stock would be higher if the street felt NT had easier to beat numbers going forward. Might be better that management keep quiet for a while.
