    Warren Buffett and many other prominent investors have long preferred to measure a company's performance by their cash flows (found on the cash flow statement) rather than their reported earnings numbers... but what exactly are cash flows, and why are they given more weighting? Let's find out on today's episode

    Good video. I would add that the Cash Flow Statement is NOT HARD FOR MANAGEMENT TO MANIPULATE. Too many investors jump straight to the CF Statement in the assumption that it can't be messed around with. It is easy to move cash around the place, particularly from CF from Financing Activities to CF from Operations and vice versa. In addition, the CF statement starts getting unreliable for companies that engage in a lot of M&A (e.g. ABInBev, PepsiCo)

      That is no entirely true since you have auditors who look into bank statements. Cash flow is harder to make up since cash really are Bank deposits being exchanged and each account is assigned a number. Not to say that is not possible to do it, but it is much harder, it would need banks to be on the side of the firm and play along their game

    suggestion: very useful content, thank you very much. clear and simple. if i may add a recommendation, as a ux researcher, i would recommend doing the following simple change; If you want to discuss 3 elements, cash flow components for example. i would recommend displaying the 3 even when you are discussing one of them. display the 3 each time and highlight the one you will foucs on. this makes for an easier understanding and less cognitive workload. makes is easier for people to remember the 3 (recognition is better than recall). sorry if this is not very clear (sorry, writing this laying down with a significant leg pain) . feel free to reach if you would like more information.

      FCFE if you’re valuing the stock, FCF if you’re valuing the enterprise! As a shareholder you only care about the FCF after it’s paid off debts (so FCFE) because you don’t get the debt money
