Pea:

You have the uncanniest ability to make my point for me (and I notice you do this kind deed for others as well). You never refute my central thesis which is simply that investors may, on their own and with rel. little skill, determine if they want to agree or disagree with mgnt's presentation of financial info. If you do not think certain pro forma qtrs. are at all 'fair' so be it you vote with your trades. Same is true from top to bottom traders (e.g., your big 50 shares compared to Fidelity's 500,000 share block trade).

See how there is nothing to 'get' or not 'get.' This is pretty simple stuff I think it's back to the point of not needing to waste much more space here, as I hope your naiveté play is just filibustering. Is this on?

P.s. Let me make a cogent argument FOR you that I can't believe you have not put forth as it's really the only legitimate beef. One could argue that pro forma numbers in articles w/o GAAP as well helps the big houses and their analysts to continue to hype stocks and talk them up to dumb newbies in a huge conspiracy of silence as to a GAAP comparison as greenhorns hold or better yet buy more and only then does big money dump their shares at a rel. inflated price. Of course this is not likely since greed runs the street and it's not clear if houses would act in concert with nobody looking to squeak in before others. At least present this conspiracy theory it's much harder to disprove than non-sensical musings. TIA
