RE:Take NoteWhile I like MG, he's no Bezos. Bezo's was a hedge funder prior to starting Amazon, he knew that to be successful you need to measure your company by your free cash flow. Bezos 2001 : Why focus on cash flows? Because a share of stock is a share of a companys future cash flows, and, as a result, cash flows, more than any other single variable, seem to do the best job of explaining a companys stock price over the long term. Takeaway Because a share of stock represents a share of that companys future cash flows, free cash flow is the best possible metric for understanding financial success as a business. Free cash flow should be prioritized because it is pegged to your companys value both today and in the future. https://datapulses.com/2021/03/31/bezos-measures-amazon-by-free-cash-flow/
