This class started with an examination of the broad themes of the class; that valuation is a craft, that there is a difference between valuing and pricing, that good valuations are bridges between stories and numbers and that to act on valuations requires faith. This is 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.
