I think cash flow analysis is very useful in determining the health of an enterprise, but am not convinced it could be used to value a company, particularly if it was fast growing. I haven't yet chosen between operational cash flow and free cash flow for the metric. Which do you prefer, Thomas?

Thomas,

FCF ... for all that it has going for it in good solid financial terms, is no more than the tip of the iceberg in terms of valuing companies for LTB&H.

Agreed. That should be said about any particular bit of information garnered from analyzing the financial statements. There is no silver bullet.
