Thank you. I agree, in concept, with your remarks; it just seems to me that HWP is not in a unique situation - every other listed company has to play the same game. Let's face it - the latest run-up has been precipitated by analysts upgrades; who is going to touch them now? Good game, or bad, it seems to be a fact of life, and HWP is not exempt. I am very long HP and am just disappointed.

Other companies do a decent job of "managing" expectations and offer appropriate "guidiance" to analysts to make both themselves and the analysts look good. What happened here is simply very poor investor relations on HWP's part.
