I have gone through hundreds of brochures for courses on valuation that claim to be the best in the market but none were as engaging and brilliant as his videos are and most importantly its absolutely free. So, if you cannot acknowledge the teacher's brilliance atleast don't berate the person (whose comment you replied) for getting shocked because he/she most certainly is not alone.

1. Valuation is simple, we choose to make it complex. 2. Every valuation has a narrative behind it. A good valuation is more about the story than about the numbers. 3. When valuations go bad, it's not because of the numbers, it's because of biases, uncertainty and complexity.

I have challenged myself to put away 50% of my monthly income into stock options which is quite easy since I live frugal without debt. I work as an account executive, and make over $20000. $10000 goes into dividends, and the other $10000 covers my my food plus living expenses. I am seeing improvements in my portfolio, dividends look certain, but I have to attribute this to only to guidance of a licensed fund manager who allocates funds to a plethora of assets. Just got my first property, still I have to stay disciplined, and remember that I’m in it for the long term. Good luck to everyone and thanks for the great video.

You are a genius Aswath. This introduction is really useful to understand why we are doing valuations. Thanks for sharing!!

Aswath, I love that you bring up "herd mentality" with the lemmings analogy... BUT that isn't really how lemmings work! They don't die from falling off a cliff. They all jump off because they think the ocean below is just another lake that they can cross in the course of their migration. Lemmings that approach the ocean from a beach (as opposed to a cliff) ALSO enter the water en masse -- so you see it's not a "jumping off a cliff" thing. Regardless of their entry point, these lemmings swim away from land, thinking that, as in a lake, they will eventually reach the other side. Of course, they never do. They simply exhaust themselves swimming and drown. However, your point about herd mentality still holds! Thank you for this great series!

Valuation gives you a foundation to rationally analyze a company before deciding to buy/sell Problems in valuation: 1. Bias 2, valuation is objective 3. less is more Three methods 1. Intrisic: based on fundamental 2. Relative: compare based on similar companies 3. Contingent claim: Companies which will only profit if certain events happen assumption of valuation: MARKET MAKES MISTAKES

I cant believe this was made 8 years ago, quality can still beat alot of youtubers

Great video! Thanks for taking the time to do this! I look forward to watching them all. My personal choice for picking stocks is the following. Debt is well covered by cash. So in effect zero debt. Calculate enterprise value and divide against last 12 months of earnings. If this ratio is below 10 I become interested. Check this against other companies in same industry. Ive only managed to find a handful of companies this criteria meets.
