"No, that's what I'm accusing you of doing. The "Jerk" is someone who constantly feels like they have to rub it in someone's face every chance they get. That just about fits you like a glove."
You are the one f@cking hypocrite here. You accuse me of jerking while doing this in first place? I was not talking to you in that remark to tcmay, did I? Why the heck you popped out like a sprinkler? Who is a jerk?
"In regards to your last response ...maybe we can revisit this, since I'm sure it will make a difference to calculated EPS."
Certainly, certainly, the $1,000,000,000 per Quarter is not like a pocket change, even for Intel.
"but I don't see how you can apply it to Intel, without also applying it to the rest of the industry."
You do not see? When Forbes magazine did calculations on stock options buybacks, Intel popped up in the top ten companies who use that accounting loophole beyond any reasons. And you, of course, do not see this. Very convenient. If those labor expenses would be accounted in earning reports, Intel's true EPS would be 1/10 of what is deceitfully reported now, and in few quarters during the past 2 years Intel would be in the red. And you do not see this, right? May it is why you dropped the ball, since you cannot back up your bold statement: "However, their revenue minus yearly expenses is still a positive number..."
"...which is what reassures investors to keep their holdings in that stock" Yes, suckers are in. But the WS stays calm, and does not buy your brags about "ethernal profitability":
