How would I use Google Finance to find financial data about LinkedIn & its stock?
Remember that "earned" means "earned in profit." A company like LinkedIn may not be trying to earn any profit, because they believe that they are at the stage in their development where the best thing to do with excess cash is to reinvest it in growing the business. Therefore, profit may not be the best metric at this stage in the company's life cycle.
