You failed to read the opening of my post. Actual earnings are a result of earnings less cost of acquistions, minority investments, gains from investments, increased R&D spending. It's a result of choices to re-invest in the company. If the company chose to stay the status quo actual earnings would be far higher. For this reason I believe that pro-forma is a superior method of measuring growth. Furthermore my numbers do show revenue growth at 30% and earnings growth at 33.8% - both well below current levels. I think my numbers are strong. OG
