" If it is excluded in the calculation, where is it to be shown?" It is recorded as money earned and goes straight into our book value. However for the purpose of calculating PE what we are interested is EPS excluding one time gain since that is the only consistent indicator. Makes sense right? Otherwise for example if AAPL had sold $100 million worth of ARM share it would boost our EPS way up. If you don't exclude these one time gain and get the EPS from operation, the PE calculation will be meaningless. Eric
