    • Husky Financial: GAAP earnings were only 0.03 .. since when do legitimate companies report in Non-GAAP?

    • OneLongTrade: Legitimate companies don't, but the market treats em the same way. CRM is classic example. GAAP earnings are often negative.

    • Joel M: Well, there goes my strangle. Shorts aren't really covering, buyers aren't buying, sellers aren't letting go no one is piling in either way

    • Joel M: Marc Benioff at CRM spin revenue and non-GAAP to keep his shares inflated, and watching people quote it like it's real.
