<<<Cole..while I stand by my statement that GTE showed profit,>>>

<<<actually stating that GTE shows a profit was probably a mistake on my part>>>

Yes it most certainly was and as you can see by even your most recent post you still seem to be confused. "Gross" profit, when speaking about investments does not have the same meaning as "profit". A company that makes "profit" actually makes money, for themselves and often for their investors. A company like GTE that only has a very very small "gross" profit has lost over $50,000,000.00 and has recently lost over $200,000,000.00 TWO HUNDRED MILLION in shareholder value for their investors. So I hope you can see the "SIGNIFICANT" difference in "PROFIT" and "GROSS" profit. Your statement was very misleading and "OVERLY PROMOTIONAL" and of course you "stand by" it.
