examining the quality of earnings is not worthwhile ? you must be joking...oh I forgot, your the cheerleader, see no evil , hear no evil, say no evil? and with all that hype you put out, I bet none of the investors here understood the difference between the Brod, Intuit & TLC eps numbers! let's face it, you can't argue with this analysis of the report so you want to forget about it. let me remind you again, this report makes it clear, TLC isn't profitable. gross revenues are used, to boost the eps 'profit'. if TLC knows returns are 20% why not deduct them from gross revenues like Brod & Intuit, on the op stmt, instead of hiding them on the 10Q under cashflow? because the profit would be "0.00" the math is simple, the principle is clear, why does TLC do this? do they think investors will not read financials? each investor should call their accountant and confirm this, then call their broker to scold their analysts, and finally let TLC know. when the message eventually sinks in, the stock will tank, and the investors will have realized that all these reports of growth was nothing more than wishful thinking to lure in investors to buy a stock because it had a low P/E.
