Selett, performance in the past is an indicator of what is going on within the company, forward looking statements are just that forward looking...they are predictions. The thing is they can have above expectation ER however their forward looking statements and guidance can be under par, or it can be flipped the other way. In essence it's all a speculation right now.
HIPP is a great company, their services are excellent, and they are doing a great job with their current clientele which is clearly reflected in their retention rate. We all want to see them with a strong ER and strong positive future outlook and guidance.
