Russ,
The Cash Conversion Cycle is also important in a high turn over low margin business such as PCs. CPQ does have low margin PC products like Gateway. However, it also has high margin products. The high margin products are more complex and the cash conversion cycle takes longer. The fact that Compaq's cash conversion cycle is close to Gateway's cash conversion cycle is actually very positive and makes Gateway look slow.

Thanks Russ.

Are the Fools saying that Gateway "converts cash" in negative time, ie. THEY COLLECT ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE GENERATED IN THE SALE between 2.5 and 4 days BEFORE THEY PURCHASE THE RAW MATERIALS ???

Isn't this a bit unreal ???
