In episode 370 of the Investing for Beginners Podcast, Dave and Andrew tackle listener questions about PE ratios, target date funds, debt-to-equity ratios, and free cash flow metrics. Learn how to evaluate companies, understand expense ratios in 401(k)s, and use DCF models to value businesses. A must-listen for beginner investors! [00:01:21] Missing PE ratios? It’s often due to negative or missing earnings. [00:03:12] Target date funds simplify rebalancing but limit investment flexibility.

[00:18:05] DCF models can include debt, depending on the valuation approach. [00:26:00] Free cash flow margin measures efficiency in converting revenue to cash. [00:27:15] Free cash flow yield helps identify undervalued stocks with strong returns. [00:34:42] Free cash flow conversion shows how well earnings turn into cash flow.
