OK, you are correct that there is a contradiction between the ttm earnings reported in the Yahoo detailed quote section and the quarterly earnings reported in Yahoo research section (with numbers supplied by First Call). I assumed most investors click the Yahoo research link if they wanted to get recent quarterly peformance, because the detailed quote gives only recent ttm earnings data. For anyone interested, here are the links we are talking about: Here is the Yahoo detailed quote for QCOM showing -.46/share for ttm earnings. finance.yahoo.com If you click the research link in the above link, you get this Yahoo research page: biz.yahoo.com ThisYahoo research link shows QCOM earning $1.05 over the same ttm which are QCOM's pro forma earnings. Best, Huey

well frank if your record proved this ,i could agree with you! <<My remark to John was intended to be of a more generic nature, Huey. I was implying that the "average investor" who accepts published data at face value is at a disadvantage when competing with those who perform rigorous dd.>> BUT if that wrong data kept people out of stocks like BEAS,JDSU,BRCD,CSCO,EMC,ITWO,NTAP,SEBL,SUNW...lucky them.. so i have to ask you what did all your RIGOROUS dd do for you? regards john
