Why You Should Look Beyond Earnings Statements
Saj Karsan submits: Investors looking to understand a company's current financial position (i.e. the company's debt levels, its cash balance, what it owns and what it owes) will often flock to the financial statements contained in the company's most recent quarterly report. After all, quarterly financial statements are required to...
FortuNet Makes a Fortunate Decision on Dividends
Wide Moat Investing submits: Truly rational capital management too rarely resides in the executive suites of publically traded businesses. More often, a myopic focus fixes on growing the empire by acquiring more assets, all while ignoring the owners’ interests—the productive use of retained earnings. Or, perhaps worse, abdicated...
