Example lesson: cash from financing

To help you develop your skills in identifying trading opportunities, our course provides exercises, graphics and illustrations that guide you through the most important elements of fundamental analysis. To give you a flavour of what to expect, here’s an extract explaining how to analyse cash flow statements:
 
  • Cash from financing

    Here you’ll see details of the company’s corporate bonds and shares that have been issued or repurchased. Dividend payments to shareholders will also be listed.

So what can we learn from these figures? Well, as the saying goes, ‘cash is king’. Many analysts feel that cash in the bank is an important asset, particularly because it’s something that can’t be faked by clever accounting.
