Uhmmmm, revenues minus cogs minus expenses plus interest income minus taxes. No? Something I'm missing? Yup, you are missing something. Start with two facts: (a) the company has 28 someodd Billion in assets net of liabilities, and (b) when you add up total "profits" [your equation] (over the life of the company) it comes to less than 8 Billion. What are you missing? Answer the questions: if the company only generated 8 Billion, where did the other 20 come from? Was there any more where that came from too? If so how much? What does this mean? Hint: any difference would of course represent the degree that these "profits" were subsidized by something or someone else. Warning: incorrect answers may be deducted from your net wealth. John
