Session 1 (Val Undergrads): introduction to class

The undergraduate class is officially rolling, and thank you tuning in. During the session, I told you that that this was a class about valuation in all of its many forms - different approaches (intrinsic, relative & contingent claim), different forums (for acquisitions, value enhancement, investing) and across different types of businesses (private & public, small and large, developed & emerging market). After spending some time laying out the script for the class (quizzes, exams, weekly tortures), I laid out the philosophical foundations for valuation, by noting that it is a bridge between story and numbers and that it is different from pricing.

Those who are thinking of watching the lecture series, Do a valuation on a company after this. When he says "You learn Cooking by doing it not just watching" he means it. I learned a lot more by doing an actual Valuation than by just watching his videos. See you at the Finish Line.

[@utsav7646]

But there is no finish line 🤪

Can u teach me practically

[@harshitabhatt7060]

hey sumantha! hope you're doing well. Just started with the lectures. How to start practicing valuation? like just wanted to know the start point.

[@ShreyashPatil1811]

But we have to know the Recipe First Before Cooking
Similarly, first we have to watch all the videos properly,Revise them from time to time & then Start Practical.

As I am in the process of being economic emperor, ASWATH sir, I would be humbly grateful to your way of teaching which is in pure harmony of outwitting knowledge, making it a perfect blend of knowledge with practicality and to be able to attend your class even after sitting a thousand miles far away from you. Honouring you!!

i usually drop out by 4th video viz Beta calculation :P

[@randomdude7384]

Growth in earnings per share was too much for my story-telling brain to stomach.
Betas are simple: think of them as the S&P 500 +/- the risk of the equity you are regressing against it. @@JASHVEER22

Did you manage to complete it ? Haha I just started

[@quantisticnumbers2633]

Thanks a lot for all this free information. You are an absolute legend !

[@Cygx]

Due to the story being so important in valuation, if you want excessive returns, you basically need to see the future.

[@judeaugustine182]

thank you

[@rutvikgonde428]

Thank You sir

[@QuangNguyen-zm5dn]

So , I took this valuation course on CZcams, does it cover everything he teaches? Please forgive me because I am a foreigner.

[@ashishsharma3738]

Yes, I think so. Here, Aswath talks about all the sessions he's going to take. Seems like he'll keep on posting the videos in this playlist as and when he takes them

[@khoidoan04]

I completed last year course, is it worth my time to study again ?

[@Financeforyou118]

No, better read his books this time

[@Allma_h]

Does it add value ??

[@user-iz2tm5uu5c]

[@Pathlogos]

Science Vs Maths
Science: A theory is assumed to be true if there is enough evidence to prove it beyond all reasonable doubt. In science if something is undoubtedly true, then it is likely to be proved false the next day, week, year or decade.
But maths
Mathematical proof is absolute and devoid of doubt, mathematics does not rely on evidence from fallible experimentation but it is built on infallible logic.

[@nikhil__singh]

Where can we get the slides??

[@Liam-dv5pt]

It would be a lot easier if I has access to capital IQ huh 🤣🤣

[@asianbipolar]

I just started this course and also vow to complete it! Would anyone be open to being my discussion partner? I find learning alongside other people more effective 🤓 reply here if you are

[@sachinroy4308]

[@trippyco.1649]
