I have a number of my NetNets that are coming up with negative EVA as their cash is larger than their market cap plus debt. Do you think using an "absolute value of" the FCF/EVA would be appropriate? In other words, just disregard whether the answer is positive or negative, and just compare to zero and to others in the industry. I want to keep apples to apples, so I don't want to derive a formula for these special situations that wouldn't apply to them all. Timba

RE. <<Do you have a stock screener that can scan for cash flow?>> Try the free Netscreen tool at marketguide.com It has built-in screening variables and user-defined variables as well. One of the former is the ratio of price to cash flow. You can define price / (price to cash flow) to give you cash flow per share. Multiply that by shares outstanding if you want cash flow in dollars. I've used this tool to screen for net-net stocks too, defining the variables I want to use. It's quite nice for a free tool.
