van, can you explain what you are trying to do here? once i get a feel for it, i'll kick in my 2 cents - i'm not bashful ;-) i'd argue that investing is a science. not all bean counters can do it well. some non bean counters are excellent. our economy is all about alternative ways to make dollars. the best investors find the best alternatives.

(i am not a bean counter) That could not be more obvious. These are the numbers I get when you amoritize 2 billion over 10 years. Based on the Revenues below (WHICH i quickly pulled off of SI) Haven't verified anything. Is this doable.? with this kind of revenue. Can you honestly say they can't do it. Paying 69 million a quarter when revenues are almost 9-10 times that. Have you thought of taking that revenue and then use GAAP to calculate the true cost of goods sold. Now throw in operating expense and admininstration expense. What is remaining of that revenue to pay off debt?
