Question #3:

Why is this EPS (ttm) figure not matching Yahoo! Finance's EPS?

I am trying to calculate the EPS of the ADR China Mobile Ltd. (NYSE:CHL) stock by looking at its published financial statements.

CHL's interim reports come in intervals of six months. The most recent interim reports were for the periods ending 6-30-10 and 12-31-09. Thus, I am assuming that the most recent twelve months' of published earnings covers a twelve month period from 7/1/09 to 6/30/10.

I am looking at the interim income statement reports from MSN Money. The diluted normalized EPS as reported for the second half of 2009 is 2.94. For the first half of 2010, the result is 2.84.

Therefore, shouldn't the trailing twelve months' EPS of CHL be 2.84 + 2.94 = 5.78? Just to remark, I am not trying to find a forward EPS of any sort. I simply want the ttm EPS.

I'm sorry if I sound dense. I know that this should be an easy calculation, but I am confused as to why Yahoo! Finance shows an ttm EPS of 4.25. Where are they finding the earnings figures for that number?

Question #18:

Why Cant the Govt be Privatized? Smart Solution our beloved leader Palin would love?

Why cant the Govt become a Privatized entity with a CEO, we all know More Govt isnt the Answer, Less Govt is, the lesser the better. Thats why the Govt should become a private corporation running a business, making a profit and i should be able to buy stocks on the NYSE of the Federal govt. Same goes for the military. Why are we paying taxes for a govt, that is so socialist.

Question #19:

Rate My Rap 1-10? Despicable World?

I am a 14 yr. old rapper and this is a freestyle I wrote exclusively for you guys on Yahoo. Its basically about how I'm fed up with what our country has become.
NOTE: please do not compare me to famous rappers today unless it is in a good way. remember, i;m only 14
NOTE: Do not use these lyrics. Trust me, my dad is a lawyer

Where did the money come from?
I don't know
Well my Mommy was a liar
Cause money do grow on
Trees to send the world crippling to it's knees
And possibily move the fork and bite the hand that feeds
And it's a pain that you'll never know
The NYSE bell calling For Whom The Bell Tolls
But this aint no Metallica video
I've seen people die in the deadly storm
Just for Bush to sit the there on his ass and ingore em
How the hell did we get this way? tell me
because Michael Moore said it was a love story in capitalistic ways
Oh wait, did he say what i think he said
swallow my pain full im suprised that i'm not dead
lives lost in the money pool n money spool and over money we drool
so all rappers chase after is the money thinking da money kool
So give me one more excuse to drink this crazy juice
Cause this nigga about to go Tazmanian Devil and go and let loose
So who am I supposed to blame the government or me
Because i think this might be some shit that's to black for Nancy Pelosi to see

Question #20:

How Do I Find the Name of a Company and It's Stock Symbol?

How do I find out the name of a company on the NYSE so I can invest in it? For example: Rather than invest in ABC Pencil Company or 123 Pencil Company suppose I would like to invest in a company that manufactures graphite, or cedar wood, or erasers, or yellow paint.
So how would I find out the name of a company that produces the components of a particular product? CAN I even invest in that type of company or is that a different business like an import business or something I can't invest in. I guess I'm asking how to track down the names of companies that provide a particular product. I have the name of a product that is grown overseas. It is a part of a product that is sold here in the US. It's possible that this product may be grown in the US in the future. I would like to invest in it. And if I can find out the name of a company then how do I find out what it's stock symbol is? Thanks in advance to all those savvy investors that take time to answer.
