I do not think any company would buy back billions in dollars of equity if they were going to have trouble paying their bills. So, it could be an anomaly in accounting that would get cleared next quarter. And it looks more like that than anything else.

Of course, would love to understand if there is information on anything contrary. ]]> Thu, 09 Oct 2008 17:54:39 -0400

You consider that a "normal" return. If you can get cash back in 6 years on a company buy-out, thats absolutely phenomenal. You might not have considered the fact that, the cash flow after 6th year onwards also stays with you only as a buyer and that too for ever. And that is all gravy since you have recovered your investment in 6 years.]]> Fri, 16 May 2008 17:15:45 -0400
