You should be able to determine what stock to buy and not have someone do that for you. One of the metrics I use is free cash flow dividend payout ratio, to determine if I want to buy a company.

So come on in and t...

33 Episodes in and I hit a thousand plays. Very thankful for all the listens!! Deals are hard to find these days, so I'm nibbling on confidence stocks. Especially XOM, as the entire energy sector has been way down for over a year now.
