RE:RE:RE:When expectations seem lowest...It is correct that cash flow and not earnings is the driver of future success. It is cash that will be used for expansion, for any debt retirement, and for any future share buybacks. As I had previously posted earnings can be impacted by non cash considerations. One of the biggest remaining is non cash compensation which arises from the treatment of primarily DSU's issued when the share price was significantly lower. These are marked to market each quarter and impact the earnings statement (probably less in the 4th Q because the share price has been relatively flat but definitely for the year). A fixation on earnings will lead retail investors down the wrong path.
