2% of what? It makes a big difference. You can be assured it is not 2%
on capital.

**************

According to Benjamin Disraeli [sp?] there are lies, damn lies and
statistics.

The 2% may be accurate in that sale of a $1.00 item may yield only a 2 cent
profit. The questions would be how many rollovers per year on that item.
And there could be a much higher margin. Use of technical terms can be used
for obfuscation rather than clarity
