Hi Reginald.

I thank you for your interesting and informative posts. In making them, however, you expose yourself to the risk of answering nuisance questions like the following. ;-)

<<Net cash flow = the former less the cash flow used for investments and financing.>>

First, so that I'm absolutely clear on this, the figure for net cash flow is the same as that for gross cash flow if cash flow from investments and cash flow from financing are both positive, yes? IOW, the only time net and gross diverge is when either cash flow from investments or cash flow from financing is negative. You can simply answer "correct" if I got it right.

Second, as you point out, determining what "counts" as free cash flow involves a subjective element, and I understand you choose to use the figure from other sources like ValueLine. However, for teaching benefit, could you perhaps show how the figure was computed for Microsoft? I.e., do you know what figures from the statement fo cash flows in this particular instance were added and subtracted to come up with the figure you reproduced?

Hope I haven't scared you away from further postings here by burdening you with these questions. Thanks again for your help.

:-)
