>> That's a pretty standard.

This is not the first time you've made this idiotic remark.

You ever look at MSFT's financials? How about GLW? How about PG?

It depends TOTALLY on the business. Grocery stores are not like software companies which are not like INTC.

Ted, > Most firms profit margins are in the single digits. That includes INTC.

INTC's gross margins are around 50% and net margins are around 14%.

MSFT's gross margins are in the 70's and net margins are in the mid-20's.

DELL's gross margins are in the 20's and net margins are close to 10%.

The health insurance providers are not swimming in dough like you or SilentZ think they are.
