not justifying (and not questioning the increase in os). was a broker for 15 years telling u how analysts and financial pubs treat acquisitions. read news releases or mergers and acquisitions. if a company buys a company (with stock or cash) and as a result earnings per share increase it is called "ACCRETIVE". If as a result the new company's earnings have decreased it is called "DILUTIVE". Just the facts.

...well at least someone finally got his or her head screwed on right!! It was obvious by the s/p that the market felt the company was overextended by all its acquisitions with minimal profit margin. Even if this was to come in the future, HRCT was giving no indication of stopping its acquisitiveness...almost looking "greedy" for more...and losing perspective. Market has said for two years "STOP!! and give us a significant profit!!...then we can consider more acquisitions." At least, that's what I've been saying....

Gonna take a hit for this again...might see low taken out, but now I'll consider loading up, except that:

SEC issue is a real headache!!...this needs to be put to bed!! It's bad enough we are still getting chewed up on the OTC board without adding fuel to the fire. We also need whatever comment CAN be made by mgmt TO be made!! Certainly they can post something neutral/benign to acknowledge shareholders and give perhaps some idea of timeframe!
