Hi, Thread: I have 3Qs. Why a company have to use Proforma data as well as real EPS. in AMZN's case, amortization is not included in proforma EPS. What's the rule here ? I saw companies put Amortization in calculation of EPS. If Proforma should not be used as evaluation number, then what the hell companies put this number for, can we say cheating ? I specially do not like the reports from following companies BFT/AMZN/INTU. How do investors evaluate charges ? I see so called non-recurring charge or one time charge happens repeatedly every two or three Qs. Is there rule to force them to spread the charge into future earnings Anybody have comments on following short picks ? PETC, IKN, PHYC, SACM Many thanks
