>Z, that's so stupid. I for one know that UnitedHealth Group increased its gross profits by consolidation. Yet their profit margins remain in the single digits. That's hardly a fat margin.

Fat enough that their CEOs can get 8 and 9 figure compensation packages and that shareholders are pretty happy.

>Like I said, do you want to put that "fact" in the right context? Obviously M$NBC doesn't. Cause you know, M$'s double-digit profit margins are just fine ...

Thanks, Steve... Microsoft only owns a sliver of MSNBC these days.

Most firms profit margins are in the single digits. That includes INTC. That's a pretty standard.
