Re: Size

TMAR has 98 boats, HMAR has 267....

Therefore HMAR is bigger than TMAR.
Also both TMAR and HMAR will probably issue equity if/when the stock price improves to decrease the effect of dilution.

Anyway, my point is hmar could quickly grow to the size of tmar using debt, while tmar can't easily grow much bigger I don't think

I doubt TMAR will be willing to take on much more debt (at least they shouldn't IMO).

That said, a lot of their recent aquisitions have not yet contributed to the revenue stream so I think the growth is still there for a while. I'd imagine the long term growth will be quite a bit less than the 35% the analysts have been touting.

Still, I think the stock deserves a P/E of at least 15. Even given a low P/E of 10 the stock should trade at $30+ within 18 months.
