...hey man, good analogy,, I thought it was a Camaro too. Figured it was just gunna start blowing a little blue smoke and handle like a pig after a few miles..(55),,,, I had no idea back then that the wheels were gunna fall off. The lack of a PR after making those comments at the anal meeting speaks volumes, IMO.

The main difference is that when GM gives a discount its reports as revenue the difference between the price paid and the discount, but not Nick and the boys at BRCM. They report the price paid as revenue and they throw the discount into the ``goodwill'' of acquisitions. Next time I'll buy books at AMZN, I'll ask Jeff Bezos to give me a warrant to buy 2 shares of MAZN for 24 cents each for each book I buy. I bet it would spike AMZN revenues real fast. BRCM is violating the most elementary accounting standards. There is no way the SEC can avoid looking at it.
