[ Free Cash Scan ] Rainier,
You listed some ideas for a Free Cash Scan a while back and I got the ... BUG !! eliminated .... Finally!
I think this list should meet at least part of the criteria you mentioned. I couldn't run it on the Float and Market Cap rule stuff yet.
1. Price/Earnings< 12 2. Price/Book ratio of less than 1.0 (that's tough--the business might really be suffering if you find ones with such valuations in this market environment--maybe we could stretch it to less than 1.5 times book value) 3. Price/Cash Flow of less than 10 (actually, the book uses Price/Free Cash Flow, a different (and superior, IMO) figure, as described above) 4. Price/Sales ratio of less than 1.0 5. Non-declining TA characteristics(i.e. broken out of downtrend)
For 3. I used Operating earnings. .... Returns the operating earnings per share for the last 12 months, Operating earnings are defined as:
Earnings - extaordinary items
For 5. I used an increasing 35DMA I could change to an EMA.
What was the rest of the criteria? Was there more?
Wanna see the results? Let's all Load up on BRK A. :)
