Session 1: Setting up the class

This is the first session of the undergraduate valuation class for Spring 2019. 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 suggested that you start thinking about forming a group and picking companies.

To be frank, this guy is a great storyteller. Theme 4 on the combination of stories and numbers had me hook, line, and sinker.

[asherreich]

For a "number-cruncher" this man is remarkably eloquent!
