<Also, in your very comprehensive valuation model, why do you include common ratios such as P/S and P/E when you say yourself they're basically useless? Sure, that'll make your model more palatable to the masses, but why weaken the effectiveness of and add unnecessary complication to it? Remember, you suggested that companies should not give sell-side analysts what they want (accrual earnings), they should give true value. But you're falling into the same trap! Have the courage of your convictions!> That is why it is given away for free Andrew. Remember, you get what you pay for. Remember that the next time you get a "free" research report from your broker.
