From a long term point of view, wouldn't it better that a company grew by 32% even if they did indeed miss expectations by 1 penny? I realize the price of the stock is based on expected earnings but 32% growth year to year is good. I personally would rather know they had great growth. Am I wrong in thinking that's more important to me since I'm long term?
