companies that have history of consistently generating positive free cash flows.
Rising earnings serve as a good catalyst for stock prices. So seek companies with strong, consistent, a
earnings (profits). Seek companies with 5/10 year earnings per share growth greater than 25% (alongw

Companies that consistently need capital to grow their sales and profits are like bank savings account,
