Bob, Regarding EGRP. Your reading of the earnings report is certainly different from what I read (I think it was in CBS Marketwatch) this morning. I have no position, so I just skimmed through it. It seemed to have a positive tone. Without going back and re-reading it, it seems like the numbers they mentioned were higher than yours. Maybe this is another case where they put the positive spin on it and forget to mention the one-time charges. It seems that we now have two sets of numbers - before and after charges. Even some of the services are reporting the actual earnings in the before charges mode. Alan Abelson wrote about it a couple weeks ago. As an example, take a look at DDIM in the Yahoo quotes and see if their P/E and EPS agree with anything. Another Bob P.S. I always enjoy your thoughtful and informative posts.
