John, I completely agree with you. Do you recall the criticism Intel took when they mandated that their Investment gains were recurring? Although, I can see a company's point, but it would look bad. This Q, MOT started reporting "pro-forma" and excluding charges like Cisco. The CEO faced some grilling as to why do it now? His response was like, our competitors are doing it. Of course, when they reported that way, they met estimates, barely.... Completely agree with you on the CF perspective. OCF should be something that we should look at. Hopefully, they didn't add much to inventory, thus taking that number down and posting a +ive OCF.
