Take calling acquisitions one time events when they do it dozens of times over the last 3 years. 12 times in 3 years is not a one time event. Also why call only expenses one time events and not revenues?

Pete, it's really very simple...

Earnings are not viewed in a vacuum. They are viewed in light of analyst expectations.

Analysts do not take the cost of acquisitions into account when they project earnings.

If you want an apples to apples comparison you have to look at the numbers sans acquisition costs...

Not rocket science...
