Hmmmm....
What with the discussion previously about Bob possibly retiring at the end of the year...and his "tease" of operation earnings...and some of the other things...I'm wondering if some of this behavior isn't a means of "disconnecting" with his audience in preparation for his retirement.

But...I've frequently heard that in reading financial reports, God is in the details (i.e., the footnotes). I could be mistaken, but I would think that it should not be that difficult to determine non-recurrent earnings data (sale of divisions; tax surcharge; etc., .etc. -- causes are legion).
Maybe I'm missing something...I mean, it may not be as refined as Bob's, but I bet it would get you some ways...

What I think is interesting is that another part of price to earnings ratios is the number of shares outstanding. This can vary...!!! One of the stocks I own (RDUS) underwent considerable dilution earlier this year (before I owned it). Yet many folks might just look at price & volume data on the charts...saying...gee, it was in worse financial condition earlier and the stock price was ..mm maybe 4x higher...so surely the stock must be _very_ undervalued...I think it may be undervalued...but not simply because of the previous price action...
