Look, you are welcome to believe whatever you like. Best of luck.

The represented financial statement earnings are not real-they are fake. And if you take a pencil and adjust them to GAAP, they mostly disappear. There is a reason the SEC has adopted rules that effectively preclude investors from sueing accountants over this kind of problem.
