Thank you Pete, Those positive results are the reason I initially bought HELE. I'm glad that Chris is reminding us of some of the negatives that might impact earnings next quarter. The .21 needs to be adjusted because it includes the profit from a sale of some land. The adjusted EPS is .20, which met Zack's estimates and I guess the others. However, the day the report came out, there were some conflicting estimates that Ann and I both saw, which may have caused confusion. It seems, too, that "meeting estimates" isn't good enough anymore for the market. Zack's and First CAll estimates for the coming quarter are at .32, Quick Source has .34 and BES has .36 Didn't the company state they expected between .31 and .33? (Am I dreaming that?-I'll need to check)If so, the .36 is high and will that cause problems? I have no problems holding my HELE unless something really changes my view on the company and the management.
