I follow. Kind of.

I've read about the work of Ernst and Fotta, who came up with something called 'Dual Cash Flow'. Although I haven't been able to find the specifics of their method anywhere, from other sources I have been able to infer that they take a standard calculation of FCF (like mine), then subtract out what they call 'Balance Sheet Cash Flow' (changes in working capital, etc.). The result is 'Dual Cash Flow', which is probably a lot like your calculation, at least in spirit and/or intent.

Anyway, my method makes for a good way to screen for stocks, but screening is only the beginning of the process. I'm struggling with this stuff, but sometimes the struggle is worth it. I would appreciate someone pointing me to a good source of information on this topic. Thanks for your remarks, Spek.
