Re: the effect of huge capital expenditures on Free Cash Flow. That source you gave("Worth") looks great. Of course, it would be better if it listed the companies in alphabetical order. BUT I am wondering what three-year period "Worth" is talking about. Just out of curiosity, I checked out the summary of Intel's consolidated cash flow statement on the Morningstar site. They give the following numbers for Intel's free cash flow for the three year period 1994-1996: $725 million, 1994; $1,733 million 1995; $4,212 million, 1996. That makes a 139% increase in free cash flow from 1994 to 1995, and a 143% increase from 1995 to 1996. That does not seem to tally with the -3.4% 3-year cash flow growth rate you supply in your message. One of the ongoing problems we have been encountering here is that our sources can't seem to agree on the numbers.
