[@GetItDoneProjects]

James, thank you for taking a complex subject and making understandable. I really appreciate how you made the math easy to understand, you made it clear which metrics I'm looking for on a company's balance and income sheets, but most importantly, you gave me a nice introductory understanding in how to interpret the data. That's everything I was looking for. Thanks for taking the time and God bless you.
