One last question on CVU,

Sorry, the reason I am bugging you so much is that I find this interesting, wondering whether to take a good-sized position.

The operating cash flows have been negative for each of the past five years. When are they to start generating cash? That is a red flag to me. Earnings supported by negative cash flows over the long run can be quite iffy. If some big project gets cancelled or delayed, the earnings can be written off.

I can understand when a company is growing operations that it can be cash flow negative for awhile, but this is a long time and it hasn't net grown operations all that much over the past five years.

Thanks,
MC
