		+	#Importance: Free Cash Flow is considered an important indicator of a company's financial performance because it shows how much cash a company has available to expand its business, pay down debt, buy back stock, or pay dividends to shareholders.
		+	#Evaluation of investments: Investors often look at Free Cash Flow when evaluating potential investments, as it provides insight into a company's ability to generate cash and return value to shareholders.
		+	#Flexibility: A company with positive Free Cash Flow has more flexibility in terms of allocating resources, making strategic decisions, and pursuing growth opportunities without relying on external financing.

		+
		+	It's important to note that a company with negative Free Cash Flow isn't necessarily in financial trouble.
