Re: FB Did anyone notice how FCF fell off in 2018? The reason was increased investment in property and equipment, including nearly 5B in networking equipment. Anyone know more about this? I hope it's truly a non-recurring investment. Same with GOOG to some extend. FB is doing a lot of Capex. I know for example they are building data centers in Asia to prepare for the land grab in social media there. GOOG is buying a lot of expensive real estate for offices (they like to own rather than rent) and also build datacenters.
