Q: How much weight should be put on adjusted earnings per share as opposed to earnings per share? It seems that many companies find ways to make adjustments so that the adjusted earnings are significantly higher than earnings. I can rationalize how netting out amortization might be reasonable especially if the rate of amortization does not reflect the expected life of whatever is being amortized, but is also reasonable to net out acquisition related expenses (which are actual monetary expenses)? If it is, then shouldn't the adjusted earnings be a good news story rather than worrying about the actual earnings? If not why bother with all the adjustments?

Q: Hi Peter,

After reaching a new high several weeks ago, Boyd seems to be dropping quite steadily including today. I would expect that they would benefit from growing operations in the us but is this a general reaction to everything paying a dividend or did I miss some report or analyst downgrade on the stock.

Thanks
