I am a newbee and have been learning a lot about value investing from this forum. I am almost finished reading - One Up On Wall Street by Peter Lynch (It was recommended in the thread about top basic investing books). Next, I plan to read The Five Rules for Successful Stock Investing by Pat Dorsey.
I don’t have a financial background (I am from IT background). I am trying to align concepts from One Up On Wall Street with information from Screener.in.
My question is How do find
- How much cash the company has? (I found “Cash from operations last year” ratio from Screener and I am not sure if it means the same)
- How much long term debt the company has? (What parameter of balance sheet/yearly report specifies this?)
- How much long term growth rate the company has? (Screener has some ratios like “Compounded Sales Growth”, “Compounded Profit Growth” and “Return on Equity”. Which one of these means long term growth rate)
Thank you for the amazing forum.
