hmmm, my feeling is that unless some magic fairy waves a wand over the US then the conditions for listing that we want are not soon - hence we would more than likely have no raise for that.
Also - I didn't get the feeling that he thought he would raise at all - but, that he just didn't want to say it would never happen. Indeed, he seems very comfortable with how things are going.
The growth comment - if one combines that with the ????????? over polymers - then, well, that might be different.
I had forgotten about polymers when I initially asked about military and his visit.
So, I asked him later ---------- "
is there any chance of a left field whale contract coming soon via polymer's?
No trade secrets needed - just an idea."
this was the answer -
"More than 100% yes"
so, there it is ------------ no inside info. as it has already been published anyway - but, just the boss's personal opinion.
I have got some polymer contacts in Europe and get the drop on things occasionally - the place is hot.
I have no idea what it means for us 'growth' wise ---------- ie. will we just have to whip out the back and grab a few drums -- or a lot more to do than that - but, I do know that the top and bottom lines will be massively effected if we are near the larger figure monthly that has been suggested.
What I also know is that the industry is a frantic thing - if one has it - the others are like seagulls on chips.
ATM - the feeling I get is that Nick is in cruise mode - ie. very comfortable with this year - and leading into next ------------- but, it's like fishing ---------- if, all of a sudden, you hook a big bugger - you just might have to whip across to the tackle shop and buy a bigger landing net.
If we hook a monster - I ain't going to complain about needing a bit more tackle
