Not a blowout???!!!! I would beg to differ by taking a look at some things in the report. A couple of items to focus on: "Broadcom recorded a net income of $36.9 million, or 31 cents, for the fourth quarter compared with profits of $8 million, or 7 cents a year ago." 31 cents vs. 7 cents = Trusty calculator in hand. Clickity Clack, Clickity Clack - Ching! 342% profit growth Shazam! "For the full year, earnings before special charges were $105.8 million, or 91 cents a share, compared with profits of $24.6 million, or 24 cents." 91 cents vs. 24 cents = Trusty calculator in hand. Clickity Clack, Clickity Clack - Ching! 279% profit growth. Shazam! Depends on your definition of BLOWOUT, but how many gems in your jewel box portfolio are growing profits at 342%? I'll take it and I'll keep it. BB
