    I have created a custom field which I call DPO (dividend payout) (DIV / EPS) * 100 to better analyze dividend paying common stocks.

    I would prefer to use Free Cash Flow (FCF) in my DPO (DIV / FCF) * 100 as earnings can and is manipulated by management, whereas cash flow cannot.

    We are wondering if Free Cash Flow may be available from Vector Vest's daily data feed vendor to add?

    Free Cash Flow is so important, why did Dr. DiLiddo not consider adding a long time ago?

  2. REITs are evaluated based on FFO and not EPS. For REITS, please replace EPS data in your database with FFO (or AFFO). Much more usefull.

    For dividend investors that follow REIT's adding the Funds From Operations (FFO) for Equity REITs to your daily data feeds is critical? If not, researching REITs on VV is not very helpful. Dr. DiLiddo what do you say?
