I think your credibility is damaged on that comment. You are well aware that they can't predict quarterly earnings with any accuracy when they are at a nickle or dime a share in EPS when orders ship as planned. Delaying 2 shipments by a few weeks can and does mean a dime loss rather than a nickle gain as happended in Q2. This makes for "huge" swings on a percentage basis. How have they done projecting annual earnings for 2004? For next year's projections... perhaps most are too scared by past experiences at being wrong? Perhaps UTEK has orders on the books but they can't show them since they are for more than 12 months out?.... who knows... I agree it is hard to predict the future
