The stock market
is one of the most competitive and transparent markets in the whole world. The
good thing is that free information helps us to get a better overview of price
ratios and risk premiums.
I'm a very
fundamental driven investor and screen the capital market by several criteria
related to debt, price, free cash flow, growth and so on.
Today I like to
introduce 7 high quality stocks with a debt to total capital less than 40, free
cash payout less than 60% and with a yield above 2.5%.
