To keep the operators from going bust is quite different from ensuring that the operators will continue to see rising EPS.<br /><br />I am not worried about the operators going bust. I am just wondering if SMRT is a good place to park our money if we are looking for earnings growth, given the headwinds.AK71https://www.blogger.com/profile/16832145412062954289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7944902213075756335.post-44739625740429162872014-01-18T19:15:54.434+08:002014-01-18T19:15:54.434+08:00Ak
