<<doesn't concensus factor in investment gains?>> Depends on who is doing the estimating, I suppose. And "increasing earnings by 200%" doesn't mean a hell of a lot if you start from a base of 1 cent. Hey, that means if they go from 0 cents in one quarter to 1 cent the next, they've increased INFINITY percent (HOORAY)! It's especially meaningless when most of it comes from their passbook savings account, T-Bills, swiss bank accounts or whatever. Hey, I can do that on my own and cut out the middleman and their bloated executive compensation scams, ya know?<G> My point is that sequential revs are down, there are NO operating earnings...and the company is granted a 2 billion dollar cap to make dingelberries, or whatever they're called. Not the kind of business I'd count on for growth (or longevity), but hey, its up 4 after hours, so WTFDIK? Disclosure: No position on RIMM See my next post for a much nicer example of balance sheet torture.
