Mighty, Don't you think it might take another year to receive the kind of coverage from the kind of analysts that have been mentioned here on the thread- big, well known houses? I would think that another full year of reported quarters would give an analyst what she would look for: a longer time line in history on which to plot the earnings projections, the estimates, meeting of estimates, earnings surprises, clear statements of business plan and evidence of its execution, growth- whether organic or through acquisition- plus additional trading experience. When coverage is initiated, that company begins to share a relationship with the analyst, and since the analyst represents his firm and that firm's clients, the whole relationship process is often something that takes a lot of time to achieve. HIE is certainly farther into this process than it was a short time ago because it has achieved some better visibility and more of its personality is now public. However, don't you think it is still rather early in the game to expect the coverage we would like, as investors? Now, were this a dot com company- the financial market's equivalent of a rock star- we would be playing from a whole different sheet of music.
