Any hootchkiss, it would save all of us a lot of time if you knew how to read a balance sheet. Duke, it would have saved you a whole lot of money and time if you really could read a balance sheet..... since you don't know how to read a balance sheet... you should notice that Warren Buffett does know how........ and he says that Diluted EPS do not take into consideration nearly enough of the options that are exercisable to show a true accounting of those options..... (when companies use the very lax standards of the GAAP) Coke on the other hand will start showing proper Diluted EPS, as does Boeing..... why are you arguing with a person (warren Buffett) that is probably the best balance sheet reader in the entire world? you really think you are going to get far with an argument that Warren Buffett doesn't know how to read a balance sheet????? are you really that clueless? if you don't understand this, see how much money you've lost on MSFT, and how much Money Warren Buffett has made by being smart enough not to invest in MSFT..... hello? catch a clue sometime soon.... figure out why you are losing money while Warren Buffett is understanding balance sheets......... you've got to be the only person stupid enough to think Warren Buffett doesn't know what is going on with GAAP defined Diluted EPS...... as Warren Buffett quoted, its not what is illegal that is a shame in accounting, it's what IS legal that will really shame a company.......... and GAAP defined Diluted EARNINGS is what he was talking about in the section when he said it..... you being naive enough to not know what is going doesn't also give you the pleasure to show us all how really stupid you are though in this matter.....
