John Paul, I didn't mislead anyone. I stated the source and date of the publication and the exact figures, as of the last actual fiscal period. According to S@P earnings guide dated December 97, Cube still has a cash flow deficit of $1.93 a share. You have more updated information on the most recent fiscal period, post it! Their definition of cash flow, which I can accept is: " Cash flow is net income ( before extraordinary items and discontinued operations and after preferred dividends ) plus depreciation, depletion and amortization. It is reported for the last actual fiscal period". More interesting, is how this cash flow deficit came about, and will it resurface again in the future? PS. I'm glad to hear your smart enough to ride Cube all the way down to zero if need be. As for me, I'm prudent enough to ensure a profit on my short here ( barring of course, a takeover). PSS I don't trade for a living as you do. I run my own business ( about 10 hrs. a day ) have a family of 5, and don't have the time to read every single 10Q and 10K. If I was a professional trader, You bet I would. I do read some when I get a chance. If I had the time, I'd spend more time on the Internet, which I do love, along with technology.

JAPAN'S DVD -ROM MARKET TO GROW TO 2.5 MLN IN 2000 12/09/97 Asia Pulse (c) Copyright 1997 Asia Pulse PTE Ltd. TOKYO, Dec 9 Asia Pulse - Demand for DVD -ROM devices is expected to increase sharply in the next few years, totaling 2.5 million units in 2000, according to a survey conducted by a Tokyo-based marketing consultation firm. In contrast, shipments of CD-ROM equipment will likely decrease to 8 million in 2000, after peaking at 10.2 million in 1999, the survey added. Domestic shipments of DVD -ROM devices is projected to balloon eight times from last year to 0.8 million. This will be followed by an 87.5% year on year jump to 1.5 million in 1998, and an increase of 33.3% to 2 million in 1999. Liquid crystal display shipments are predicted to surge 2.5 times year on year in both 1998 and 1999 from the estimated 80,000 for this year, topping the 800,000 mark in 2000. Personal computer domestic production is likely to reach 10 million this year, up 9.9% from a year earlier. But output is expected to shrink 8% year on year to 9.2 million in the year ending March 1999, a reflection of increased transfer of production facilities overseas, the survey said.
