Expectations are riding high, so just thinking about these earnings announcement. Last week we had a disappointment from Salesforce, what are the odds of something like that panning out?

So, I think that that gives them a little bit of a leg up and, you know, we’re looking for a great print out of them. Their backlog on the last quarter was 138 billion. It’s expected to be 149 billion on this upcoming first quarter.

So, we’ll see if that comes to fruition.
