"Prediction and projection are synonymous with each other."

No, they are not. And while prediction, projection, or valuation may all be the same to you, to many readers they are not the same. Analysts predict the quarterly earnings of companies, and usually come fairly close to their prediction. A lesser experienced investor reading this board may look at Dutton as an analyst, and by your post surmise that Dutton is predicting certain revenues and earnings. This is not the case at all.

You may think I am splitting hairs, but unless you want to leave the possibility of someone misinterpreting your post, you should be splitting those same hairs.
