But they made $196m for the full year – implying $46m for the months of Feb-March alone."
Now, I agree with that assessment so I go back to the one conundrum we have every time BM opens his mouth and that is his statement that "The Olympics and The Presidential Election" generated once-off benefits.
That statement does not stand up in the face of yours because by Feb-March both of those were well and truly over.
So why does he keep on reiterating it? Because it gives him a fall back position if things do not go as well in the 2013-2014 year as they have in the 2012-2013 year. He can point at that statement and say "it was because of those" whilst if they go according to your assessment, which in my opinion holds up and things do really go well, he is also covered.
So, I think he is covering his proverbial and what I want to see when the "finals" come out are not only the past but the projections for the year going forward. Remember last year when SC said they were only hitting 10% of their potential market. Well, your figures surely show that they are hitting more of it and will continue to do so in the next year or two.
All we need now for the price to really move ahead is a confident statement on May 13th that all is rosy in the garden and we will have flowers a plenty next year. Who is to say that given the growth this year which was obviously not anticipated at the beginning of the year that we cannot hit $300m next year with profits aplenty.
