I hit price to free cash flow and came up with that...using Yahoo finance <g>. Ironic? I don't know accounting, but that cannot be the mark of a good business. Or can it? You tell me. It may very well be that there is some magical means by which they generate revenue--far beyond my comprehension. But I am quite sure they've never got a dollar out of me. Maybe I am far to cynical for my age--I do not understand how Google can have twice the marketcap, as say, Boeing. I know the internet and software and computers is just all money printing pixels, fine. But I can add up Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows Me, Windows XP, Windows XP MCE and Microsoft Office--and I can say, yes, Microsoft has made money from me, I get it. But damned if I can figure google-- I've probably averaged a half dozen google searches a day for the past ten years, and I don't every remember clicking on an advertisement--except once or twice out of curiosity after the goog IPO.
