Income from continuing operations was $192 million, or 7 cents a share, compared with income of $661 million, or 33 cents a share, for the same period a year ago. The settlement, which resolved litigation and investigations related to mortgage-backed securities, subtracted 40 cents a share from profit.
Revenue was $7.8 billion, after an accounting adjustment reflecting changes in the value of the firm's debt. That's slightly below the average analyst estimate of $8 billion, according to Thomson Reuters data. But revenue was $8.2 billion before the adjustment.

There is a very interesting aspect of Amazon�� Q2. During the quarter the company spent as much as $4.3 billion in capital expenditures and still managed to report free cash flows worth $1 billion. Even the revenue from the web service (AWS) segment showed promising growth. CEO Jeff Bezoz believes one day the segment can overshadow the retail segment revenue and claim the place of the top contributor.

The horrendous flops
I wrote a blog post explaining why Knightsbridge Tankers (NASDAQ: VLCCF ) made the right move in slashing its dividend and why its prospects were looking up. The shipping company was extremely undervalued at the time, so why was I wrong? I made the mistake of thinking that a company trading below book value represented good value for shareholders. In reality, many shipping companies were -- and are -- trading below shareholders' equity because their fleets are enormously valuable assets. Unfortunately, that inflates book value enormously. It may not seem so harmful at first, but perpetually low charter rates have actually forced many shippers -- including Knightsbridge -- to sell tankers at less than market value to keep the lights on. Those practices can erase large chunks of book value overnight.
