Fine, but "earnings" are generally viewed as net income and earnings per share, both of which are up for 3Q98. >>> This is what a number of people are looking at when comparing the Quarters. Just the messenger. ;-) 1998 1997 Income BT $2326 $2440 Taxes $767 $866 Tax rate 0.33 0.355 Net Income $1559 $1574 Diluted shrs 1753 1797 EPS 0.89 0.88 Based on 1997 Income BT $2326 Taxes 825 Net Income $1501 EPS 0.835<<< If you enjoy going down the earnings sheet and finding creativity in eps reporting, as you obviously do, go over to IBM and check out some of their recent earnings statements, and stock graph while you're at it. Intel's a rank amateur by comparison.
