I do think it is inappropriate to base growth comparisons on figures including investment income, especially if you're unwilling to do it consistently when there are losses. I don't think one should take the stance that "earnings is earnings" when investment income is positive, but try to brush it aside when it's a loss.

I'm not implying that it's hidden in OE; I'm sorry you inferred that from what I've said. But MSFT has tucked it into the earnings numbers they've made the focus of their press releases, as I just demonstrated a few posts ago.

JMHO.
