jbe, I think the price/fcf ratio does have to be the starting point here. As you note, these ratios will vary among companies for a multitude of reasons, perhaps most centrally the expected rate of growth. However, I suspect most of the (impressive) abstract discussion occuring here goes ultimately to how to compensate for these outside factors in order to be able to compare p/fcf ratios "apples to apples."

I for one would love to see a list of low-ratio companies which we could kick around in an effort to find a company or companies which stick out even after we try to compensate for the "external" factors.
