Hi jbe:

I just went back and looked. It seems as good a method as any. Also the weekly VL lists greatest free cash flow generators. That is the
VL 40 page thing that lists all VL stocks, not the weekly review of
some of the stocks.

> Who was it that said MLHR looked expensive, with regard to free cash > flow?

Twas I. According to the most recent review of MLHR in VL, it is projected to have cash flow of 3.30 in 98, with capital expenses of
1.95 (FCF ~ 1.35); in 2001 it is projected ot have cash flow of 5.15 and cap exp of 2.20 (FCF ~ 2.95). BTW, these figures were higher than for 97. I admire the company, but with low profit margins and these FCF figures, I consider it a bit expensive.

I agree with you 100% about the importqnce of current FCF.
