The Motley Fool January 30, 2006 Rich Smith	Foolish Forecast: A Glance at Google Google's margins are a thing of beauty, and the upward trend they're on is even more stunning. Unfortunately, the valuation looks pretty darn amazing, too. The stock sells for 96 times trailing earnings and an only slightly more reasonable 84 times trailing free cash flow.
The Motley Fool February 27, 2006 Rich Smith	Foolish Forecast: BJ's Delivers Thanks to a 20% run-up in share price over the past three months, BJ's shares are starting to look pricey. The company has some work to do if it's to grow into its valuation.
The Motley Fool February 1, 2006 Rich Smith	Foolish Forecast: Snap-On The company's cash from operations has been on a general downward trend for quite a while. Investors need to look for signs that this trend has truly reversed before jumping in.

The Motley Fool February 22, 2006 Rich Smith	Foolish Forecast: Pushing the Limited Judging from the rolling margins, the company appears to be slipping, becoming less profitable over time, and thus unlikely to turn in a profits improvement three times better than its sales improvement. Investors, take note.
The Motley Fool February 6, 2006 Rich Smith	Foolish Forecast: Nile's Tide Comes In The Internet jeweler's gross margins have been on a steady, if shallow, decline for the past 18 months. Investors, take note.

The Motley Fool February 16, 2006 Rich Smith	Foolish Forecast: Talk America Talks Talk America's flat to declining sales, plus fewer profits earned on those sales, is not a recipe for earnings growth. Investors, take note.
The Motley Fool January 23, 2006 Rich Smith	Foolish Forecast: Netflix in the Mail Reviewing the company's recent performance, we see a pronounced trend toward lower gross margins, both sequentially and year over year. By any traditional valuation method, Netflix looks grossly overpriced.
The Motley Fool February 6, 2006 Rich Smith	Foolish Forecast: Cracking Coke Open Whatever happens tomorrow with the net margin under GAAP, it's more important for investors to watch Coca-Cola's free cash flow, which usually exceeds accounting profits by a considerable amount.
The Motley Fool July 27, 2006 Nathan Parmelee	Is Anheuser-Busch Turning the Corner? Anheuser-Busch's performance is an improvement over last year's, but there is still a way to go before the company matches some of its better performances. Investors, take note.
The Motley Fool February 21, 2006 Rich Smith	Foolish Forecast: Sina Debarks Although Sina officially sports a pricey P/E of 28, the company currently trades for just a bit over 20 times its trailing free cash flow. That's not at all an unreasonable price to pay if the firm can meet analyst estimates of 19% long-term profits growth.

The Motley Fool March 6, 2006 Rich Smith	Foolish Forecast: TransAct Investors, if you thought TransAct looked expensive at a trailing P/E of 47, look again. At a price-to-free cash flow ratio of 80, it's doubly so.
The Motley Fool January 23, 2006 Rich Smith	Foolish Forecast: Ready for RedEnvelope? The company is unprofitable on a cash (free cash flow) or an accounting (GAAP net profits) basis. If it has any value at all, it's still in the eye of the beholder at this point. Investors, take note.
The Motley Fool March 14, 2006 Rich Smith	Foolish Forecast: Is It HOTT in Here? Investors, focus on inventories and free cash flow. That's where you'll find the first evidence of a turnaround, if one exists.
The Motley Fool March 2, 2006 Rich Smith	Foolish Forecast: Adecco Stays Up Late Investors, the Swiss HR powerhouse has had the same gross margin, on a rolling basis, in every quarter for the last 18 months. With its net as low as it is, even the slightest margin improvement on the bottom line can turn modest revenue gains into spectacular growth in profits.
The Motley Fool January 23, 2006 Rich Smith	Foolish Forecast: Unzipping Coach Coach's trailing P/E of 29 looks a little worse than its actual price-to-free cash flow ratio of 26. But even if the company continues to grow at analysts' projected rate of 20% per year, this is one pricey handbag.
The Motley Fool February 6, 2006 Rich Smith	Foolish Forecast: Under Armour Undresses Under Armour's short history doesn't tell investors much more than that gross margins are strengthening -- a strength that hasn't yet dropped to the bottom line.
The Motley Fool February 2, 2006 Rich Smith	Foolish Forecast: Ryder Dismounts This company has consistently beaten expectations in each of the past 20 quarters. Will it do so again in tomorrow's fourth-quarter and fiscal year 2005 release? Investors, take note.
The Motley Fool March 21, 2006 Rich Smith	Foolish Forecast: Adobe Downloads Investors, this company is practically printing money. Or at least it was, until this quarter. There are several things to keep in mind if you're to make sense of tomorrow's first-quarter earnings release -- and the market's reaction thereto.
The Motley Fool February 1, 2006 Rich Smith	Foolish Forecast: Braving the Amazon.com Tomorrow, investors will see whether the company can pick up the pace again and reverse its slide with some real, honest-to-goodness cash profits.
The Motley Fool January 26, 2006 Rich Smith	Foolish Forecast: Manpower Powers Up Priced at a 19 times multiple to earnings and 20 times free cash flow, Manpower isn't the cheapest company on the planet. Still, it might be worth a look to investors.
The Motley Fool February 21, 2006 Rich Smith	Foolish Forecast: Salesforce.com Calling With its resulting price-to-free cash flow ratio of 65, Salesforce.com won't be cheap even if it achieves the 45% long-term compounded earnings growth that analysts project for it.
The Motley Fool March 15, 2006 Rich Smith	Foolish Forecast: New York, New Year Analysts are looking for clothier New York & Co. to hit the top of its latest guidance of $0.33 to $0.36 per share for the quarter. That 9% increase might be a bit optimistic, however, in light of the already confirmed "revenue miss."
The Motley Fool March 6, 2006 Rich Smith	Foolish Forecast: Sportsman's Guide Shifting Wall Street has had more than a month to chew over January's guidance and has bid the company's shares up 14% in response. Can the stock go higher tomorrow? That will depend on two things.
The Motley Fool January 30, 2006 Rich Smith	Foolish Forecast: Corinthian's Q2 Report Card The past couple of quarters have not been kind to Corinthian's margins (or its stock, either). Primarily as a result of the firm's weak margins, its stock looks a bit pricey.
The Motley Fool January 31, 2006 Rich Smith	Foolish Forecast: Cracking Open Budweiser While waiting to see if sales pick up, investors can make good use of their time by monitoring how well Anheuser-Busch uses its cash to increase shareholder value.
The Motley Fool March 21, 2006 Rich Smith	Foolish Forecast: Soup's On at Darden Great as this restaurant operator is, with future growth projected to average closer to 12% per annum, the shares look rather pricey.
The Motley Fool January 25, 2006 Rich Smith	Foolish Forecast: Sybase at Bat Sybase faces plenty of competition in the database market and as it head into tomorrow's earnings report for fourth-quarter and full-year 2005, the company looks set to end the year not with a bang, but with a whimper.
The Motley Fool February 21, 2006 Rich Smith	Foolish Forecast: LCA-Vision Checkup The 30% growth that analysts expect to see, although great objectively, still makes LCA's stock look expensive relative to its recent growth.

The Motley Fool August 8, 2007 Todd Wenning	Boston Beer's Glass Is Half Full The company behind Sam Adams announces mixed results. Is Boston Beers pouring too much money into the "malternative" segment, which may amount to be nothing more than a fad?
The Motley Fool March 15, 2006 Rich Smith	Foolish Forecast: Pricing Cost Plus How do rising sales turn into falling profits? Sadly, that's exactly what's going on at Cost Plus. Investors, take note.
The Motley Fool January 23, 2006 Rich Smith	Foolish Forecast: Divining DuPont DuPont sports a trailing P/E of 18, but beware. On a free cash flow basis, this company's positively acidic, with a price-to-free cash flow ratio of 33.

The Motley Fool March 14, 2007 Rich Duprey	No Hangover at Sam Adams This looks like a company that investors can raise a mug to. The brewer reports double-digit volume growth as its craft brews gain in popularity.
The Motley Fool February 21, 2006 Rich Smith	Foolish Forecast: Triangulating Garmin Garmin's rolling margins don't seem to be revealing much of a trend in its business. One quarter they're up, the next they're down. If analysts are correct in their estimates, the fourth-quarter will turn out to be a down quarter. Investors, take note.
The Motley Fool March 14, 2006 Rich Smith	Foolish Forecast: Charmed, I'm Sure Should investors like this chain of plus-sized women's clothing stores?
The Motley Fool November 6, 2009 Robert Steyer	Boston Beer's Blast of a Quarter While major brewers worry about consumers trading down to cheaper brands, Boston Beer is moving up -- in profit, in revenue, in full-year forecast and, after reporting, in share price.

The Motley Fool January 24, 2006 Rich Smith	Foolish Forecast: ConocoPhillips Cyclical companies aren't for the faint of heart or bad of timing. Conoco's oil is in demand and fetching historically high prices. Yet the company's P/E is a mere 7.5! Might Conoco be a bargain?
The Motley Fool March 16, 2005 Jeremy MacNealy	A Market-Beating Lager-naut? There's much to like about Boston Beer, but a pricey stock cautions to invest responsibly.
