Current reading
What supports the cash yield
This review starts with cash generation, then checks reported profit, debt, deterioration and the market record. Buffett and Munger used the same practical order of questions: cash first, accounting second, then balance-sheet resilience. The apparent cash yield needs caution because deterioration or balance-sheet warnings weaken the case.
