If you are looking for stocks that are 'safe', the first thing that most investors, and traders, look at is how much debt the company has. The debt free get a lot of focus. One of the other metrics worth looking at are stocks with a low Price to Cash Flow ratio.
Why is cash flow more important than earnings or net income? It gives a more realistic idea about the amount of actual funds that are coming in to the company. WallStreetNewsNetwork.com has discovered seven debt free stocks with Price to Cash Flows below 5 and PE ratios below 9. They all have market caps over $500 million.
