You missed market share growth, secular growth, ramping up growth, new economy growth metrics, customer centric growth, macro economic growth, and avoiding chapter 7 or 11 while you're growing. >One week after Sycamore went public, in late October 1999, Akamai Technologies (AKAM: news, chart, profile) scored an even greater return on its first day. Shares jumped 458 percent by the close. The feeding frenzy was rabid and investors were eager not to be left behind. After a quiet beginning inside the research labs at MIT, Akamai would incorporate in 1998 and make its public appearance right smack in the middle of the bubble. It became a $30 billion company by the turn of the year. cbs.marketwatch.com

...cash flow, ebitda, pro-forma, revenue growth, mindshare, etc. etc. are all bull market baloney... crawbaby, your shooting two for five. cash flow, ebitda and revenue growth are all important fundamental measures of a company's business and financial success (net profit and growth thereof being another, though more easily "managed" than cash flow measures) and, therefore, are indicators of real value (especially if they are highly predictable). if you think otherwise, you are a fool.
