That would stink. Let's hope globalization proves Mr. Dent wrong. Unfortunately with everything going on, whether it be the Middle East or retaliatory tarriffs, it doesn't look too bright.

Threaders, accountants, and CPA's, What is considered as Cash or its equivalant? I just received information that even if a corporation has $21.5Billion that it is defined as cash or its equivalant if it able to be converted to cash within 60 days. Is this correct? I was also told that if a company buys back its stock with cash for "x $" amount per share and the stock drops in price that this can tremendously drop the cash flow ratio within 60 days. Additionally, what impact does purchasing treasury stock with cash have on the cash flow ration, etc.? I can see very quickly how a company with $2.5 B or even CSCO with $21+B and no debt could soon get into Cash problems, especially if they have some debt. Any responses from those knowledgeable on the subject? Paul
