In this episode Phil and Karl Kaufman discuss the importance of free cash flow as a key metric for investors. Karl explains that free cash flow is the amount of cash left over after a company pays its expenses and capital expenditures. Unlike earnings, which can be manipulated, free cash flow provides a more accurate representation of a company's financial health.

They emphasize that investing in stocks is not gambling, as investors are buying a piece of a real business with a long-term goal of getting a good return on their investment. They highlight companies like Apple and Broadcom, which have impressive free cash flow growth, and discuss the significance of free cash flow margin as a metric to understand how efficiently a company generates cash.

Karl also shares insights on stock buybacks, dividends, and the emotional aspect of investing.
