Going back to something from a few days ago... the poll I posted asking for opinions on earnings over the coming year... 10 of 13 votes were for 2014 calendar year profits being greater than 2013. That's a strong majority. You said you couldn't vote for either option because of the way I worded the choices. Would you kindly share what you think they will do this calendar year versus last, in your own words? Also, I'd love to hear the reasoning of anyone who voted as to specifics of why you believe they will decline or rise. In particular, what combo of margin * revenue you expect. I'm still trying to fill in a matrix of possibilities and assign odds to each. Slacker and Psylent have given some good reasoning that has led me to lessen my downside worried, but I still seek some info on the upside scenarios. Thanks! You might be Asian, and you might be a well educated executive for one of the many corporations supporting and competing within this fine industry. If so, I complement you on your English. It is very good! I must admit, that generated a hardy laugh. Thank you much, Mister! Oafish is an adjective that means clumsy. Or more commonly, to that which is "stupid". But we know ad hominem isn't allowed here. Good thing you didn't mean it that way... you were just making a factual observation!
