Andrew -- Maybe we can get back on the "Hot Subjects" list if we get away from pure theory for a while, and choose some specific individual stocks to debate. Let's find some candidates, and then let each of us examine them, explain how -- and specifically WHY, using what method, we give them a high/low FCF rating. Maybe we will actually agree! Getting back to our arguments, which, like you, I have felt to be fruitful. Some time back, I asked you why you didn't use the net operating cash flow numbers, as provided on the consolidated cash flow statements, as your jumping-off point for calculating free cash flow. Instead, you prefer to calculate your own operating cash flow numbers. Still waiting for a response!
