Equities Research: Stockdiangostics

Valuation vs. Cash Flow

This week my favorite mutual fund manager Bob Olstein appeared on CNBC-TV explaining the most important metric, "free cash flow", when evaluating an underlying business. After finding a business with great cash flow, Olstein then focuses on "Price,Price, Price" of the stock's relation to cash flow.

Olstein shared his view on Macy (M), Amazon (AMZN), Microsoft (MSFT), Johnson & Johnson (JNJ, Cisco (CSCO), Lowes (LOW), Dupont (DD), Harman (HAR), Lennar (LEN).
