Re: C'mon Dan3 - 'splain that one !

When you understand how NT reported a loss of $19 Billion from one quarter to the next, you'll understand what it means to load up on "goodwill" and not take sufficient depreciation each quarter.

What's an older FAB worth?

What did it cost to sit on such an asset for a year?

These are judgements that not easy to make - and the true value can bounce around quite a bit, whatever the capability or motivation of the auditor.
