Where can you find these earnings reports. Zacks shows nothing for BNBN.

jim, i would be very surprised if ur figures on BNBN are correct....the riggio's spent approx. $100 million over the last yr or so getting their online business up and running.....during the christamas season, they only sold 5.6 million(amazon 20M)dollars worth of books....hence i doubt that they are turning a profit....a recent "wired" articles says about BNBN...."there was a chance that riggio's unprofitable business could shave off the margins of the profitable company to harm them both"......now dont get me wrong, im long on this stcok so i want it to suceed, but it was only recently that they handed the reins over to bulkeley who at least has some inet experience....cause when len riggios brother steve was running the show, he was failing miserably.....jmo. mact
