"One mechanism you might want to consider in scans, is.... " Do you have a stock screener that can scan for cash flow? "....cash flow/EVA...." If cash flow is not determined by some other organization(like in a stock screener), then what do you use for Cash Flow? Do you manipulate the numbers or just use CFO? I like the concept of Free Cash Flow(FCF) proposes by Heckel which is: Change in cash plus or minus adjustments to Cash from Investments plus or minus adjustments to Cash from Financing activities. The adjustments would back out the non-operational cash flows. For example, money received from issuing stock would be backed out on the theory that this wasn't revenue from normal operations, money used for the retirement of debt or to buy treasury stock would be added back in on the Theory that this was an optional use of cash flow from operating activities and, as such, is part of FCF. So, anyway, what kind of ratios did you find when you used this formula and what investing conclusions did they lead you to?....And do you see any implications if FCF as described above were used?
