I'm sure he does. And Elliot is smarter than that gaff.
This is the trouble with remote communications, when at home with a friendly bottle (or whatever he fancies) too close.
Raymond James is a good middle market firm. They've not done well for us in the last few years with Elliot's projections. I have no idea how many companies he covers.
I'd rather form my own conclusions. And above all, they will not include "beats" on hocus pocus non-GAAP earnings.
