Does anyone have a link to a new Hanifen report lowering this quarter's estimate? And why didn't they tell Zacks et.al., who are still showing $0.04?

All I will say is that I work in the industry and I called the analyst. I can't say the firm I work for. We spoke for about 5 minutes. What he said was that management had indicated to him that they would not meet his estimates for the quarter, but that they would be profitable. He said he kept his buy on Tava because it is not a short term story, and missing his estimates for the quarter was irrelevant to the story or their fundamentals. Remember, they now have over 400 employees. Training costs went up, so their SG& A is up. Even with the same revenues, profits go down. Hostility from you or anyone will not change the truth, i.e. "get real". If you have access to Bloomberg, you could see that they put out a notice last week that Hannifan had issued a new report on the 24(I think this was the date). Since I am long TAVA and work for a big company and am a analyst, they take my calls. I really don't care whether you or anyone else believes me. I have been long this stock for over 8 months. What I can't believe is that people are so defensive that they think anything that does not conform to their hopes about TAVA is an attack. It is my biggest position, and one of my best winners. I have not sold a share, and have my family and friends invested. So instead of telling you to get real, what I have to say is go f@#$ y*******
