I think maybe that's where we differ, from what I see (I may be wrong, it may just be my cynicism) most companies (especially the larger ones) are expecting the profits now, they are not prepared to wait. It seems more & more that ideas are tried, but if there's no benefit to the shareholders at the end of the financial year, the ideas are dropped & something else tried.
