Re: It is bad business to get out of a profitable business

I think you missed my point. The side businesses as a group are not profitable -- collectively they lost $850 million in the 2d quarter. To put it another way, they lost approximately 25% of what the core IABG business earned and operating earnings would have been approximately 33% higher without those losses.
