<i. I've never seen a company so good at knocking down their stock price. What kind of idiots do they have running their IR department? Can't disagree with you there. I thought it was a pretty poorly presented release which left me with the impression that they were pessimistic about the near future. Which is puzzling considering the following comparisons (Amazon included for entertainment purposes only): EPS BGP - 1.04 BKS - .81 AMZN - (.59) PROFIT MARGIN BGP - 3.4 BKS - 1.9 AMZN -(20.1) ROE BGP - 13.5 BKS - 10.6 AMZN - NE DEBT/EQUITY BGP - .01 BKS - .84 AMZN - 1.89 PRICE/SALES BGP - .62 BKS - .62 AMZN - 43.09 PRICE/BOOK BGP - 2.5 BKS - 5.2 AMZN - 101.4 STOCK PRICE (today's open) BGP - 18 1/4 BKS - 40 1/4 AMZN - 134 184
