Sir what do you think ? Can a marketing guy be good at valuation, securities analysis or put it simply can he be good at picking businesses based on marketing skills

15:00 Numbers people vs. Story people 15:40 *The end game is to have numbers people with imagination, and story people with discipline. That's the way to think about valuation.* Stories are actually much more effective at selling businesses than numbers are, and it's been true for as long as human beings have been on the earth. So if you tell a story, bring in enough numbers to discipline yourself, because if you don't have the numbers it's very easy to veer away into fantasy land. *A good valuation should tell a story - behind the numbers, what is the story you're telling about a company?* 29:30 So much of what you pay for in a valuation business is a banker feeding numbers into a [program or software] and then spending 25 days making it look like he did a lot of other stuff, and then charging you millions of dollars - something he has no business charging you for. To valuate businesses like 3M, you don't need an appraiser, you don't need a banker. Anybody should be able to valuate those companies. 33:30 *Investing is a game of odds* 35:05 Young startups are difficult to valuate, but still you should make your best estimate instead of giving up (like most founders do). 42:50 "I've never felt the urge to explain what some other person pays [for a public company]. Much of what you see passing for valuation out there is really *pricing."* 44:20 Most realtors simply price based on the relative prices of other properties or units on the marketplace. (pricing vs. sophisticated valuation) 50:30 *Markets are fickle. Today they like users, tomorrow they might not.*They used to like website visitors for a long time, but you can't pay dividends with that. At some point they are going to ask for substance. 51:30 *Investing, VC is a game where luck is a dominant paradigm. If you're lucky you can do horribly sloppy things and be incredibly rich. If you're lucky all else can be forgiven.* There's no such thing as smart money - there's stupid money and less stupid money, but there is no smart money (i.e. hedge funds, perform less than S&P 500 index fund). 54:20 *You learn valuation by doing.* If you really want to learn valuation, here's what you do - value a company. The first time you do it, it will be like pulling teeth. Then value a second company, as different from the first as you can. 54:50 *When we get big differences in value, it's not because the numbers are different, it's because we have different narratives. The right question you've got to ask is, "What is the right narrative for my company?" This is about telling a story, and delivering the kind of decisions that back up that story.* 59:40 If you've got an acquisition proposition, it's going to work only if you're willing to walk away from the table; even if its the best target that you've ever found, but the price is too high. *If you're not willing to walk away from the table, you're going to overpay again and again.* 1:00:40 Investing [properly] takes time. If you don't have time for that work it's better to invest in an index fund or some other spread; it's best to spread your bets. 1:01:00 *Don't overreach. You don't get rich by investing, you get rich by doing what you're doing, and investing is about preserving what you made elsewhere and growing it.* It's when you get greedy about trying to make that killing off of your investment that you tend to overreach.

the most sane talk ever heard about valuation, and it was gold all throughout.

Whoa !! i didn't blink my eye during this 1-hour video. Such a magnificent speaker. that's how the best of the best look. And about the substance of his talk, the way he said it, you would end up believing him.

he is by far one of the best teachers I have ever seen. One of my dreams would be to have the chance, money and time to do one of his course in presence at NY. Unfortunately I don't, however he is so generous by sharing so much information of superb quality and detailed. from spain, thank you so much!

This is incredible....the quality of learning on KZread is amazing.

This was one of the best lectures i've ever heard related to stocks, everyone who invests should give them a listen. Thanks Google!

One of the best hours I have ever spent sitting on a train! Excellent teacher, entertaining and engaging, keep up the great work Aswath!

Amazing. I have been in the tech industry and have seen it all. His explanations gave me goosebumps. Spot on. Aswath is now on my wall of heroes.

Simple yet beautiful and super useful talk on valuation! It is mind numbing how he breaks myths with simple logic and basis proven business rules. Cash flow, margin and logical estimations around growth and risk - my takeaway!

His is also a Master-Class in what makes an extraordinary teacher - a true passion, almost fiendish for knowing the truth about some one obscure thing! He could teach anything - the fire's in the belly! Loved every bit of it though finance bores me to death!

This is one of the best finance-related videos I have ever seen

he is a great teacher

This guy has a really badass classy Bond villain vibe. He doesn't want to take over the world, he just wants to valuate it correctly

We need more people like him in this world.

How To Value A Company: 1. What's the cash flow from existing assets? 2. What's the value that you'll be creating in future growth? 3. How risky are these cash flows? 4. When will your business mature?

MBA student here, I learned a crap-ton more about the meaning behind accounting terms by this video than I did in my undergrad and masters. "Stockholder's Equity is everything from the first IPO" is not something a typical Accountant would tell you.

Prof. Damodaran provided a very clear and fundamental explanation of how Financial Statements and Valuation of a company are integrated. Never seen this clarity brought forth before with simple looking logical diagrams which are so difficult to bring it on paper. Thank you Google for Uploading this special lecture and BIG thank you to Prof. Damodaran.

It< makes sense, BTC and crypto is off helping to regulate, rather than pretend it won't ever happen. The big institutions getting in is the catalyst that will launch us into the stratosphere. Most people don't like change but after the change is made they grow used to it and it becomes a non issue usually because their fears never materialize. The projects that initiated the process of regulation have not been ruined, they got involved in setting guidelines and helping the regulators understand the crypto space. I’d get involved more knowing that I have made over 12 btc from day-trade with Axel William Crypto in few weeks.

Wow. Lucky people who have been taught by this interesting and knowledgable man!

This video is AMAZING. Learning so much from GoogleTalks. Thank You.

Valuation seems to be such a time-consuming and complex exercise that is part science and mostly subjective estimation that by the time you're done valuing multiple companies in a market (sector/industry), it'll be too late to invest because too much time would have passed while you were busy making these valuation and the facts would've changed all over again. My fav keynotes: >You can't pay intetest on debt with ideas. >A strategic deal is a really stupid deal. >China is a meaningless buzzword... 😂😂😂 >Anything that doesn't affect cashflows doesn't affect the value. >There is no smart money in hedge funds. >traders can't tolerate the EMH.

Great video and some nice tips! This is a scary time for new investors but the best thing you can do is not to make decisions based on emotions. This could actually be a good time to buy more of your high conviction stocks or crypto on a discount. Wealth is created during bear markets, not bull markets. If your portfolio is really effecting your mental health then delete the app and go for a walk. Let the market do its thing and have a long time horizon. I buy and just trade long term more than ever, I have made over 16` btc from day trading with Stacy Huth in few weeks this is one of the best medium to backup your assets incase it goes bearish.
