sober thought
Let's take a step back here everyone. What do Dave and crew say every conference call? Revenue in this business is lumpy. This is what we're seeing here. All these analysts targets are garbage for the most part just applying 25% growth to 2013 numbers. This isn't a reasonable way to project quarters. One deal can easily make or break quarterly numbers. With this I hope we see some of the short term trader types leave this forum and give up on SVC. That's fine with me. I hope if a significant pullback occurs that SVC uses some cash to buy back issued stock. I'd love to see a larger pullback for this reason. I don't like my percentage of EPs being reduced. Long term are the prospects bad or worse? We don't have evidence of that yet. One data point doesn't give much information especially when there are a number of explanations. One could be that SVC is headed to zero but I wouldn't bet on that.
