Post #4593 by mungofitch on the Berkshire Hathaway board

If someone appears to be repeatedly personal, lean towards patience as they might not mean offense. If you are sure, however, then do not deepen the problem by being negative; instead, simply place them on ignore by clicking the unhappy yellow face to the right of their name.

Is this the correct 'Value Line' computation for highest 15 by cash to market cap ratio
('Cash and Market Securities' - 'Long Term Debt') / 'Market Cap'?

I believe this specific screen is simply
'Cash and Market Securities' / 'Market Cap'

The reasoning:
The medical devices category includes some firms still developing their products.
The ones with large current piles of cash tend not to blow up in the short term--if you merely eliminate a few blowups from any portfolio, things tend to get better.
