Bob,

There is a difference between FCF and CF.

the FCF (free cash flow) is the more restrictive measure of the Cash being spun off by the companies operations. I'm not absolutely certain, but I believe that FCF is a lot closer to E than to EBITDA. It's one of those definitions that I remembered twice but forgot 3 times.

Increasing FCF is a much stronger indicator of improving prospects for a company than is CF.

FWIW,
Ian.

P.S. If I remember the NVLS bears stories correctly, last fall they bought some puts with a strike price near or below $30 which are getting very close to their expiry dates ( and will be worthless unless NVLS stock price is cut to less than 1/2.) I haven't been following many of the posts here, but those bears with expiring Puts might be getting a little anxious. ;-)
