JDSU accounting - The losses of JDSU are due to Goodwill depreciation, so they are non cash expenses. The operating earnings of JDSU were 85.1M$ excluding these non cash expenses with sales of 394.6M$ so JDSU is certainly not bleeding money. Please make sure you get your facts straight when posting.

Kit, once again, scammy corps are taking their lead from our scammy govt. The govt. reports inflation without anything that went up in price (the Coors rate of inflation <g>) and corporations report profits before expenses. It is like counting only your winning bets at the track. You look smart when you do that. <g>
