Most informative investing channel on youtube! They aren't chasing clicks, they are providing value and knowledge, for retail investors to make decisions based on logic and not fomo! Thank you!

[rameshpotta]

You folks are awesome. Giving so much knowledge in the most simplistic and easy to understand format.

[von_ish]

I also like the fact that while your videos are informative, they're kept bite size. That's truly the awesome part.

Thank you so much, I', m 20 yo from Mexico and I've been learning a lot to start investing in the stock market, since I just got experience from fixed rent, and this video has helped to better understand some concepts.

Keep up the good work. Netflix is a good example of why investors need to be able to understand the statements. Someone might think the company is durable while the financials speak something else.

This will make me a better investor because by looking at the FCF statement in parallel with the income statement I will have a better overall picture of where the business actually stands. Thank you!

[anandsharma]

Lovely video. Probably the best one I found on this topic. Thank you!

[DarrenRoberts]

This was amazingly helpful! Thank you very much!

[baileytheinvestor]

You guys are doing great work with these fundamental breakdowns! I think all investors should subscribe.

[bronxbomber]

You guys should create a playlist of similar videos to this that examine balance sheet and income statement! That way it's all easily accessible once viewers find one of them.

I refer to the non cash charges at time stamp9:35, so you did not pay for the coffee toaster? Can you elaborate this part? Thanks Brian!
