again - compare the losses to the sales -- haven't these techs had a couple of quarters to take enough losses so they could at least break even??? Is anything that loses money a special item?? WTF?!! >>VeriSign (VRSN) said it posted a fourth-quarter loss of $401 million, or $1.91 per share, vs. a $1.3 billion loss last year. Excluding special items, the company earned $72 million, or 33 cents per share, vs. $46 million, or 21 cents per share. This was in line with estimates, analysts said. The company also generated sales of $284 million. Excluding sales from recently-acquired Illuminet, fourth-quarter sales were $272 million, slightly below analysts' expectations of $281 million<<
