Could someone explain to me what "DCF" Valuation is? What do these letters stand for? I assume that MBA students would know this. Thanks.

I asked Jeeves, "What is DCF"? It gave me a pretty good answer. See the attached URL. Basically DCF is discounted cash flow analysis which is just a fance way of referring to two concepts: using cash flow to value a company rather than earnings and discounting those cash flows back to reflect the time value of money.
