Right now, eBay smokes all the following criteria:

1. Sales growth in excess of 15% over the previous year.
2. Gross margins above 50% (and holding steady or rising).
3. Cash savings that amount to 5 times more than long-term debt.
4. Inventory that is not growing as fast as sales over the past year.
5. Receivables that are not growing as fast as sales over the past year.

That's what I look for to start uncovering great business prospects. Microsoft, Amgen and eBay smoke these criteria. If slowdown brings it down a little, yet they still meet these criteria - I want to own it long term as long as these criteria are met.
