wbmw, "but Intel buys back stock, and records it using cash flows" I hate to point to you that we are not talking about some obscure "recordings" or other phony bookkeeping tricks that most people do not comprehend. We are talking about whether a company is profitable or not in the common sense, as opposed to flawed reporting. To make an easy example for you, suppose you deposit your paychecks to one account, pay for living and your house from it, and a couple of hundreds is still left for savings. Yet you buy a 850Ci, and pay installments from your wife's account, and the installments exceed your savings on the first account. Would you consider your family lifestyle as profitable? - Ali
