<<why you link free cash flow to the price/sales ratio, what significance you attach to your free cash flow/sales numbers,>> Someone else posted that it would be interesting to see FCF/Sales ratio. Perhaps you could compare top stocks in a group. I am just showing that by manipulating data in a spreadsheet one can derive that ratio. I used three columns of data to get that number, one of which was Price/Sales. I am not a fundamentally focused trader; earnings growth and revenue growth are my main criteria, everything else is technical. <<Also, I don't quite understand how a company like ABT got onto your top ten list.>> As I said, the Pro-Search screen has faulty (FCF) data, so the table was for demonstration purposes only. <<By the way, I did NOT know I could copy and paste the searches I did on Pro-Search into the Excel program; I just printed them out. Thanks for the tip.>> Your welcome. If anyone wants to know how to do that, let me know. Regards, STYK
