Andrew and Pirah -- I get your point. I am going to query my primary source on these ratios (Market Guide) directly, and hopefully their customer service will be as forthcoming as Morningstar's! If not, I'll challenge the boss man himself (whoever he is -- or maybe he's even a she!).

Andrew, why don't you get the ball rolling on Intel? (A confession: I chickened out and sold my shares, waiting for the time -- if it should ever come -- when anxieties about the semiconductor industry abate.)

CF/FCF - for the CPA's: isn't depreciation an ingredient of cash flow,
and as such it is a negative capital expenditure. In the case of computer equipment such as what a software company would employ, replacement equipment is cheaper than the dinosaurs you are replacing and a net + could be embedded in the cash flow due to this.
