I think based on the current performance of the company, your assessment is realistic. I agree that 4-5 is a strong bottom, since 20 cents earnings looks very easy for next year, and the revenue growth, while not satisfactory, has trended between 20% and 30% a year. One point where I would be a bit more optimistic than you: I think that even if revenue growth continues at 20-30%, the margins will expand (as exemplified by last quarter) and therefore the earnings growth may trend at 30-40%. Finally, I know some of the people on RDMS threads like to sneer at our belief/hope that ODIS can vault into the 50, 60, 70%+ growth trend, and they are entitled to believe that and say that. But I just want to put it on the record that I am personally witnessing several situations where ODIS goes head-to-head with RDBMS vendors and wins hands down. I firmly believe that with the right marketing and communications this can become very common, and of course the only proof (as usual) will emerge ever so slowly, quarter by quarter.
