In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as &#147;may,&#148; &#147;will,&#148; &#147;should,&#148; &#147;could,&#148; &#147;would,&#148; &#147;expect,&#148; &#147;plan,&#148; &#147;anticipate,&#148; &#147;believe,&#148; &#147;estimate,&#148; &#147;predict,&#148; &#147;potential&#148; and &#147;continue,&#148; the negative of these terms, and similar expressions.</font></p>
