those multi-billion dollar write-offs of goodwill for AOL and LU were truly comical...Basically writing off all those billions in goodwill basically means they overpaid BILLIONS for their acquisitions ,,,COMICAL

What was AOL's write-off? $40 bill? haha.... CEO says something like this "Sorry folks we bought out AOL but we overpaid by $40 bill...OOOPS....duh...splat...ugh...schucks"
