Episode notes

Free cash flow is the money left over after a company pays all its expenses. It's available to shareholders, either by buying back stock or by paying dividends. Management can also use it to acquire other companies and buy people. But if you're not an owner of the business, when am i going to get some money in my pocket?

After a long-awaited couple of weeks, this week on InvestED, Phil and Danielle are digging into the big investing question mark: Netflix.

On the surface, the technology and entertainment company seems to be doing well, however, there’s one big elephant in the room: it doesn’t have free cash flow.

This is a huge red flag in the world of Rule #1 Investing, and something that typically leads Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger to avoid investing in a company. But that doesn’t necessarily mean Netflix isn’t a good investment opportunity.

Join Phil and Danielle this week as they dig into how to understand a complicated company like Netflix and how to decide if it’s the right investment for your portfolio and long-term success.
