My goal with this channel is to help you make more money and improve your personal finances. How to become a millionaire? There are many ways to get there – investing in the stock market, becoming a stock trader, doing real estate investing, or why not becoming an entrepreneur? But whether you are interested in how to invest in stocks or investing strategies for creating passive income with rental properties – I hope to be able to provide you with a solution (or at least an idea) here. Warren Buffett - the greatest investor of our time - says that you should fill your mind with competing ideas and then see what makes sense to you. This channel is about filling your mind with those ideas. And in the process – upgrading your money-making toolbox.

    This video helped me get a raise ! I simply identified what our operation was worth evaluated the local competition ! Then evaluated our service to theirs our price to theirs . I discovered we are not i direct competition with our closest competitor because our service is superior ! We are in fact in competition with the lesser informed customer who is just driving past ! We have already secured the local communities trust with a superior service !
  • This book was my gateway into the world of Damodaran, a great place to be. He is one of my four great gurus, along with Buffett, Munger and Lynch.
  • I was going to ask you to summarize this book on another video, and you already did it! Earned my sub.
  • @jwan305
    I have had this book sitting on my shelf for about 2-3 years.. I'm gonna pick it up this week and read it cover to cover thanks to your video. It's been on my to read list but there is just so many good reads out there too.
  • @troytranter3701
    Could you give an example of using the intrinsic value formula in this video? So I could better understand it. 😊
  • @adampeach3843
    Reading this one right now! The "little book" series is great! The only exception is the installment about canadian real estate - that book is a sales pitch for the authors website/community! 🤣 On the other hand, The little book of valuation is great!
  • @hetpatel1250
    Great explanation. I'm seeing this video before I start reading the book. Thanks :)
  • Some people read book and than watch your videos some, don't get to read so that's why they watch yur videos. But this video has compelled me to read the book.
  • I'd love to see a video of you finding a stock, putting it through your filters and then determining if its good value or not. I really wanna have some kind of metric system and process to put stocks through but I've yet to figure out what the simplest and most usefull key numbers would be
  • @riquepr
    Thank you for taking the time to explained this to us. I just sub
  • I’m actually reading this book, and taking courses on this, 10 forecasted is way crazy! 4 most. But it’s subjective so!
  • Thanks for another great video! 2 of my favourite books are Valye investing: From Graham Buffett and Beyond and Competition demystified a radically simplified approach to business strategy. Both are by Bruce Greenwald. They focus much more on a companies strategic position in the market for valuation. It also breaks the valuation into 3 parts: assets, current Earnings power value (no growth) and in a very select instances growth. He is also very critical of DCF. He agrees with it in principle but the model is too sensitive to small errors in either growth or discount rate. I think you and your viewers would get a lot out of it - I sure have.
