This fool says phoooey. Blow up the irrelevant and ignore the facts yeah that is the ticket.
that Fool is right but......ROIC YOY Growth=12%
Hi Kwan : Much obliged again for posting the Fool's comment ,why? for one thing it got me going did it not?<g>
Another thing I would like to point out about the Fool's comment is that YOY the ROIC has improved from 178% to 190% and I am in complete agreement with that Fool regarding the sequential performance.
Man,it gets me when pundits blow up the irrelevant way out proportion while totally ignoring the facts.

...If anything could be argued on this score, it would be that ROIC for the quarter was down from last quarter's 217%. With a company that is building infrastructure so quickly, though, a 27 percentage point decrease in ROIC can't be that badly criticized, as infrastructure never grows in a fully linear fashion.
