I few of the stocks I use as examples in the video include Tesla (TSLA), 3M (MMM), Apple (APPL), Amazon (AMZN), Microsoft (MSFT), Pepsi (PEP) and Coca Cola (KO). The key financial metrics I describe in this video include, revenue, net income, free cash flow, shares outstanding, cash, total debt, dividends, payout ratio and the basics of dividend growth investing.

My channel name is Trading Fundamentals where I combine fundamental and technical stock analysis.
