Mike: One of the difficulties for most people who don't have much time or the ability to do the in depth analysis that you do is that useful ongoing rate of earnings and/or earnings per share on many stocks that have one time events - particularly a series of such - is not the earnings reported and used. These one time or irregular events are often not excluded in reporting earnings on the part of wire services and even some commentaries. This gives a very misleading snapshot. For example, those who actually try to use the Q's trailing earnings as skewed by these charges are misled into thinking that the Q has a PE of 300 or so - based on net trailing earnings reported.

Have you found any source which routinely eliminates such charges or gains so that that earnings more accurately reflect ongoing operations? If so would much appreciate a reference or link.

Respect and best regards,
