hmmmm did you look at the cash flow statement at all?
I spent five minutes at yahoo and if you did too you would see a company that has increased its FREE CASH FLOW on a gross and per share basis for the years 2002 thru 2004. FCF is what matters, not text book financial "ratios" based on EPS that mean next to nothing. You will also see a company that has paid out more in dividends each year, bought back $1.5b of stock in 04 alone, and over the years of 2002 to 2004 actually paid down about half a billion $$ in debt. These are the things that Really matter to shareholders. These are signs of a business that is very healthy indeed.
