"....with cash flow being of particular interest to all - at least it should be."

Yes, @aatisket, that's what I was referring to.

And you are right, if you own part of a business - or are looking to own part of a business - the financial health of that business is, kind of, an important consideration.

In fact, many investors might say that the financial health of a business is THE most important part of the investing process.

Other people, on the other hand, are quite happy to completely overlook the financial health of a company, evidently on the belief that it will somehow simply take care of itself... either through the generosity of some cashed-up corporate benefactor or some government agency.

If not those, then there's always the free money that is to be had, at will, from the infinite reservoir of capital that is the equity market... as someone on this forum proffered: like a sort of a "fund" from which CEO's can draw down, as they perceive the need.

Magic Pudding-esque.
