Gottfried, On August 7.2000 The Motley Fool had an article entiled "Lucent vs. Cisco: Go with the flow." They use the formula Flow ration = Current Assets-Cash/Current liabilities -short term debt (debt occurring within one year). The fool states, "We are looking for Flow ratios below 1.25. From a cash perspective, a Flow Ratio of 1.00 means a company can finance all of its no-cash currents assets without any extra cash investment. Therefore CSCO's Flow rate equals .6729 (12765-7548)/(7753-0) is very good. CASH FLOW RATIO AMAT 1.8755450767 TO ONE; CASH FLOW RATIO MSFT 0.84369326532 TO ONE; CASH FLOW RATIO DYN 1.139335214 TO ONE; CASH FLOW RATIO QCOM 1.1623754123 TO ONE According to the above article a cash flow ratio of 1.0 means a company can finance all of its non-cash current assets without any extra cash investment. Verify my data for your own research. As our bankers would say, cash is king! Just my opinions. Paul
