Amazing, really helps me understand balance sheets and what Ben Graham is trying to say in his book The Value investor. Much appreciated
Thank you so easy to understand
Simple yet very useful.

this video explains it better than most of the books I own. even my niece got it and she is only 12

Thanks.
Thanks again Sal. 😊
Thanks Salman! Always super helpful. I might be mistaken but when I look up various major companies, it appears that they're trading several times higher than their book value. Does anyone have any insight in to how that plays in to things? It seems like it's hard to use the book value as an anchor when investing in those companies.
Thanks for the video
Well done!

You're telling me Apple has an equity of 850B since that's there market cap? I can only imagine their total assets.
Great video
Thank you.
Why does it have 2.78 million shares and not 100 or 5000 or 2 shares? Is there a reason why the company divides its equity in exactly 2.78 million shares? Or is it irrelevant to know?
What a great video
Great Video
So how should you decide to buy or sell? Did I miss that

Thankyou sir❤️❤️
Hi, I'm trying to do the math on IBM using your information but it seems like the numbers are not right. Would you mind walking me through it going off the information that yahoo provides?
The best.
How did you figure that out?
Pretty much if you learn accounting, you will find out that a lot of terms are shared, but have different definitions Pretty much that if you learn all financial accounting concepts, you'll have a much easier time in understanding stock markets without learning economics
So how the company calculates the 8m while according to the market it is worth 7? The difference is quite significant. Who determines how much the company can put down as a value of equity?
Is that Balance Sheet from Research in Motion??
i'm 18 and i have nothing to do with accounting because i'm studying in medical industry sector and i want to prepare myself i want to invest once i have enough money to be a minor investor and maybe a major investor learned a lot
So if I buy a stock/share that means that from the company's income I get some precentage?

I know this comment is a year old but I feel obligated to mention, since nobody has mentioned the answer to your question. The answer is yes, it’s called dividends. A dividend is a little “paycheck” for each stock, and it is a percentage of the company’s profit, if they had any. Different companies decide if and how much of their profit to pay to shareholders, and when. Dividends are not related to (though expectations about dividends can drive) the price of the stock itself. It’s just extra money, added on top of / regardless of price movements of the underlying stock. Also, contrary to other replies, you don’t “technically” own the company if you own enough shares. You *literally* own a portion of the company determined by the exact fraction of their shares you own. Owning 1 share makes you an owner. You may be a very small owner, but you’re still an owner.

@@yaboylucas2371 You need to open an account with a registered stock broker. Some online examples include: Charles Schwab, E-trade, and Robinhood, although anyone with a broker's license will do. Maybe your neighbor has such a license and has a company called "Joe's Stocks". There's plenty of options. Once you have that account, you may transfer money to and from that brokerage account by any method supported by your broker, usually by linking one of your existing bank accounts to allow direct transfers. When you buy stocks (technically you ask your broker to buy it for you), that money is taken from your brokerage account. That money is gone and replaced with a certificate, held by your broker, saying you own X shares of a company, meaning you're a part-owner of the company (the fraction being shares you own divided by the company's shares outstanding). When the company's owners pays themselves (hey, that's you!), a dividend is given to each outstanding share. That money goes straight into your brokerage account, where you can either transfer to your bank account or re-invest that money.
great

So how much money do u need to open a company up?
Can we divide a million in equity into a billion the same way? Please answer.
mistake i found - u say book value instead of equity. Their different.
How can I find out how many shares a company has?
It's also done if the investor needs to cash out for some reason; perhaps they need capital for something else, or if it is their retirement fund and thy want to spend it now that they are retired.
Can you make a video of where you would start to trade stocks? I'm 16 (I assume that you need to be 18 to purchase stocks) so I don't think that it would directly apply to me, but I have always wanted to know for future reference.

They get their money back either by selling their shares, so they're no longer owners in the company, or by temporarily selling to others the rights to any appreciation on the stocks they own. This is called "selling a call option." Selling one's stock or the stock's call options are only done if the seller believes the stock will decline.

Guys should I invest in Company X, Y or Z?
Fucking Great Video!!!! So well explained about what a company's share meant. with just 2 questions in my mind: 1: how does the number of a company's share is determined, in other other word, how did the number 2.78m shares come from 2: Can a company's share be bought out,? So what happens if the 2.78m share of this company is owned by some people and other investors want to buy more shares of this company, what happens then? Thanks for making and uploading this video. Double thumbs up for u!
@dannyshows

2.78m number is determined by the company (maybe board or maybe shareholders themselves depends on how the company is set up). Company's can be taken over by an inventor who buys a majority of the company's stock. Sometimes an investor that wants to take over a company will advertise that he wants to purchase the stock at a certain price, and some stock owners may sell at the advertised price. Some stock owners may not sell and the purchasing investor may attempt what is called a "squeeze-out" (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Squeeze_out). Sometimes investors will attempt to purchase a company but the owners of the stock don't agree on the price, sometimes the disagreement about the price may end up in court; the court would determine the value of the stock and that whole process is a mess.
