Re: Biggest things you look for in a stock?
Proctor & Gamble has about 3 times as much debt as it does cash, and they're acquiring Gillette which has about the same. Yet, your beloved Warren Buffett continues to bet on both. I'm not saying Cisco is a bad company. There are a few debt free companies I've been looking at. I'm just trying to get you out of the mind frame where you seem to set up a stock screener and decide that those who pass are good investments, and those who don't aren't. No one, two, or three metrics are going to tell you what a good investment is. In fact, I find the qualitative aspects of investing to be just as, if not more, important than the quantitative.
