Good Sunday Together I am looking for a way to use the free cash flow as an indicator. on the chart. Does anyone know a possibility? Thanks a lot Merry Christmas with the dearest
Do you mean a company's free cash flow to determine whether that company is worth investing in? The greater the free cash flow the more fundamentally strong the company? Not using as a stock/mkt timer but just as an stock approval filter?
Hello themickey YES, if I understood it correctly. I saw it today in a seminar using an example on AAPL, the price came 2 or 3 highest below its fair FCF,so great entry signals
Thanks but that's Eco 101 stuff. I meant the FCF indicator on their chart - (big green arrow) pointing the way.
I've been trading decades, trading is a journey, we continually pick up new concepts and discard others, even after decades. Free cash flow is another tool in your arsenal, if using fundamentals I look at several things, net debt, net profit, net margin, P/E, FCF, revenue, mkt Capitilization, Directors, Niche business/moat, how much net proft covers net debt etc. Some traders ignore everything and just consult charts, price, perhaps with or without volume. There is merit to this method. My experience, often stupid stocks rise stupidly, they rise purely on the crowd being attached (momentarily in time, eg a fad that fades with time) to the hype, eg hydrogen theme or technology theme or crypto theme.... etc, so fundamentals become meaningless. What I found interesting was OP could find free cashflow charts as an indicator, I don't recall ever seeing a provider supply these.
Stock Rover may have it as a charitable metric,but it's a waste of time as a timing indicator.. It's announced every 3 months for the earlier quarter.. How could cash flow from operations- cap ex help??? As a screen metric yes,timing indicator NOPE
Did you see my post above - #7? The OP has a squiggly indicator line on his chart. It is not a straight line - quarter to quarter. So it would seem it is not just cash flow projected forward. Let's see what they have to say and whether that explains it.
