Nadine, they do several weird things. One is they count cash flow without considering free cash flow. Then, they compare with bonds without reinvesting bond coupons while they reinvest stock eps. And they double count eps as both reinvested at a certain rate in the co. and as paid out to shareholders, which is nice work if you can get it. <g> BTW, this is not unusual. Several analyst add dividends and dividend growth to earnings and earnings growth in determining the future value of a co. Nonsense. If you have a stripper in the cake, it is hollow. <g>
