Um, well, you know how it is. The response is going to be somewhat like "historically, we've seen between 15-20% Yr-on-Yr market growth. And were looking round the bend and see no reason why this will not continue into the forseeable future. This slowdown looks to us like maybe a slight correction, nothing to suggest any long-term weakness or diminished prospects." And the band plays on. -Carlton ============================== *Carlton A Samuels* *Mobile: 876-818-1799Strategy, Process, Governance, Assessment & Turnaround* ============================= On Mon, Aug 13, 2018 at 1:12 PM Evan Leibovitch <evanleibovitch@gmail.com> wrote:
