Is "I wish you the best" a death sentence in a networking call?

I was networking recently, and the guy on the call told me, "I wish you the best" before the end of the call. Is this another way of saying that I'm not going to get anywhere with them, or am I looking too deeply into it? I'm a pretty paranoid dude, so I was just wondering what others thought.
