I don't know what to compare to what these days?

you just cannot compare period. Each company is unique with its management , IP patents, Revenues etc you can say if this company did this may be this company will do the same (just hoping).

Each year and each period is unique by itself also in 2006 we did not have the Real estate mkt collapse or the tight credit crunch etc or the high uneployment etc etc also what plays in every comapny is the hopes emotions and the PR so each comapny is a need breed and time only can tell. we have 174+ in the pipeline and millions on the floor.

where we gonna be in one two three or four years on the Top we hope but even the crytal ball cannot give us an answer.

Time is of the essense and I believe time is on our side.
