But today I took a look. At least on a GAAP basis, negative free cash flow of 780 million 9 months ending in 2011. And there is 1.6 billion in negative FCF so far 9 months ending 2012. That's awful. They are making up the difference in net borrowing. And they only have a cash cushion of about 3.5 billion.
They are dangerously close to being in trouble. At a minimum the dividend is at risk here. There is no free cash flow at all on a GAAP basis, in fact it is massively negative.
