Canada Cash flow doubts

[Mang]

Hi ,

I am having few questions on cash flow . If any of you guys can help it would be awesome .

Normally what i have learnt all the years is if the company makes cash flow positive on operations is a good company .

But what is good for a banking and financial industry generally ? Is having cash flow positive on operations is good or on finance activities is good ? I just wanna clear this doubt .

If you guys can help it would be awesome .

Thanks
