IIRC Amazon was one of the companies who would show a loss if they expensed their stock options. And they are one of the "major dot-coms" who won't be doing that. Coincidence?

So like I said, if virtually no one in the industry showed a profit, and most of the "booming economy" was attributed to the tech sector, how can anyone claim the economy was doing anything? I'd love to see the "state of the economy" recalculated for the last ... ohh, six years. But only counting revenues, not stock price; and subtracting fraudulant accounting; and expensing stock options. You know, a measure of the actual growth (or not) of the economy.
