-X,>>>About four pennies of that 69 cents came from a much-larger-than-expected gain on the sale of securities during the quarter. <<<

That is one side of the equation, but on the other side of the equation according to Jules Garfunkel, Message 12566552
There are the "High cost for amortization of acquisition's Good Will taken this quarter as an expense. This would have made earning's numbers for Q4 even better than reported... However, best of all, R & D was up almost 30% for the quarter vs a year ago Q4. If R & D remained as a constant percentage increase, earnings numbers would be even much higher. Also forward looking statement for this year's margins are going to be up 1 to 2 points for 2000 over 1999.<<<

That is the complexity of modern accounting. There are debits and there are credits. You have to look at both sides of the equation to get a full picture. Any shill can come along and look at only one side of the equation and paint the picture they would like you to see.

You have to look at the complete picture to get any accurate view of the situation.
