  • There are 3 important financial statements you should look at before investing in a company: balance statement, income statement, and cash flow statement. bit.ly/1OyEoVM
    A cash flow statement is used to determine if a company we're researching has enough money available to function. In this video, I discuss the red flags you should look out for when reviewing a cash flow statement and how to determine if there is enough cash flow growth to make it a worthwhile investment.

    I'm watching this video right after the 3rd markets rout in a couple of weeks in 2020 and it brings me real knowledge and peace of mind. I'm double checking my holdings with what I learned here. Phil is my idol right next to Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger in the world of investment. I wish I watched this early. Thank you Phil!

      Whichever firm you select, make sure you get your insurance from a reputable financial adviser, such as *Jenny Pamogas Canaya,* who has dedicated her career to financial planning. Because they will assist you in escalating, navigating better, and completing the task in a safer manner"

      You will find Net Income From Continuing Operations (59531.00) And your Operating Cash Flow will also be a line item (77434.00).

    Thank you Mr.Phil Town. for let me know that operating cashflow tends to bigger than net income and if not thats red flag.I checked the case the net income was bigger than cashflow for 3 years in a row.That company receivables has been huge but never get cash out of receivables. And also thank you for that cashflow is minus thats serious red flog. So far, I never stressed cash flow especially operating cashflow.Thank you for big help and if you upload more videos like short term loans increasing or things like that, that will be fantastic. FCF was also very helpful. Big thank you!^^

    I feel incredibly fortunate for having made wise financial choices that have had a life-altering impact. As a single mother residing in Toronto, Canada, I successfully purchased my second home in September. If everything continues to progress positively, my aspiration is to retire next year at the age of 50.

    Im looking at the cash flow statement of GM from 2014-2015 and I'm not seeing what he's saying about the operating income being less than the net income. In 2015, net income before extraordinaries was 9.62 and the net operating cash flow was 11.69. So I'm confused. Can anyone explain this to me?

    How is it possible that "levered cash flow" is higher than "operating cash flow"? I thought levered cash flow just adds interest and loan repayments and so levered cash flow should be more negative.
