It's kinda funny really. We get a free video because EE gets money from UA-cam that gets money from advertisers in the hopes that maybe just maybe that ad they put out will convince us to actually buy or do something. That's how valuable persuasion, the mere influence of our psyche is in the tech age.

@@upsidedownbagofflour697 To be precise. The point of ads isn't to convince you to buy anything...their point is to bury the brand (themselves) in your subconsciousness so the next time you go shopping your brain will alert you "hey, i KNOW this stuff, I've seen this before". This memory-triggering built-in feature in the human brain is what all ad companies are after.
Big thumbs up for expressing this properly. Usually I see it written as "selling your data to advertisers" even in relation to companies like Google that don't sell your data - and the writer usually knows it but just want a headline/quote that will appeal to the crowd.

I’m a programmer and I’m about 3 years out of university. I just got offered a 6 month contract for $128k. There’s a LOT of money in tech if you’re skilled.
At the micro level yes, at the macro level, no, not really. There is good money to be made by individuals, but not by any significant percentage of the population. Meaning it is a lot from the perspective of the few people hired for such work, but the total slice is pretty small and is chump change as far as the economy is concerned. There also just is not enough of the work to scale, so even if you flooded the market with lots of well trained people, the high paying jobs would get used up pretty quickly. I've worked places where people of nearly identical skill can make 6 digits or 30k/year, depending on if they got slotted into that single six digit job or not.
Yeah, the slice of the pie that gets injected in the market through salaries of these high paying jobs is still way smaller than in the past. The general effect of this new economy is still way worse than in the past
kenim I don’t disagree in terms of the overall picture. But for any normal person, especially for a 24 year old, six figures is a big number. The fact that the possibility is there for someone my position should say something about the industry.
@@neeneko tech is s market with high growth, is said that the market will need more than 1.5 in the next decade, but there will be only 500.000 people that would have the qualifications for it if the current growth of graduates continue, in my country is almost 400.000 and will be only 60.000 something that tech has is scalability that previous markets lacked because they were limited by the resources available
neeneko I agree. There are plenty of people at my skill level or better that could do the job. There are circumstances that have lead to me being in high demand and companies are making their best offer to snag me. Seems like it’s all about perception rather than actual skill level.

Yes, the differences between it and the various stages of the Soviet Union would be interesting.
I'm also an economist and I admire ur work. With that being said, the part of this video related to valuing a company is highly innacurate. It's not about intrinsic value, but revenue, ebitda, efficiency and good old perspective. Kodak is an example of how a company's name doesnt mean anything, because a name is based on what u did. Company value is about what u do today, what u plan to do in the future and how well prepared u are to make it become a reality
This. Stocks are basically money from the future, and are valued as such.
Book value does matter to some extent, and companies with a low P/B ratio and lots of assets tend to outperform when inflation is high since their assets are an inflation hedge, but it doesn't matter too much right now with negative interest rates and low inflation.
Not to mention they apparently think tech companies don't have any ongoing costs lol. Guess they don't know what a server is, or that many tech companies never turn a profit.

Yeah, I have personal experience with the bizarreness of company valuations.
My mother tried (unsuccessfully) to do IT contract work independently...
To do this she registered a company and made a basic website explaining what she does.
So, this company had a name, and a website...
And that's it.
She had no assets. Worked from home. Was the sole employee, was living off borrowed money, and basically only had a computer, which wasn't even technically a business asset.
So, by chance we find a website that does market valuations for any registered company...
And they listed this 'nothing' company at a value of 1 million Euro...
Yeah. Not remotely joking.
If you count assets and liabilities against company value you could argue the book value of the company was less than zero...
So the valuation was millions of times higher than the assets of the company...
The reason that her company has any worth despite zero assets is... your mother. She is the most valuable asset that will be creating the value. Besides, a company evaluation from some website is likely to be skewed, even if you entered all the relevant data. Company valuation is mostly determined by future profit potential.

Hello! new sub here,
Happy to see you are doing a video on the VoC(Dutch east India Company), one thing I have not seen anyone do in a video about VoC is compare it to the EICo. (East India Company) it can be confusing for some because the Brits didn't put the countries name on theirs, still I feel its existence is often overlooked in this conversation.
The EICo was founded first, lasted fifty years longer, took over another county, bested VoC in navel combat, didn't receive initial investment from their home country, didn't go bankrupt (disbanded for 100 years of bad behavior in India) and were still worth nearly 5 trillion(usd). It doesn't sound as impressive as VoC's 8-9 trillion(usd) but the EICo eventually beat them in market maneuverability. Hope you consider adding it if its not in there already, looking forward to the video regardless.
Keep up the good work!
bye
Don't worry, bro. At the rate the Fed is printing currency, we'll all be running trillion dollar companies eventually.
And this was before the COVID stimulus prints
Part of a company's value in market cap also comes from its future cash flows, discounted at some interest rate. It isn't all just brain real estate, but that is an interesting concept.
This is one of the best videos from EE... thanks
Great content, feels good to learn new stuff. Thank you
I remember Apple got first
Exactly, Apple was 1 month or so before Amazon.
For those of you who answer Dutch East India Company, can you tell me what date and what the stock was trading at when it went over 1 trillion?
Fala Ai it didn’t, but inflation wise it went over 7 trillion during the tulip crisis
@@willinton06 ----- I'm not doubting it being worth more than a trillion, it just wasn't publicly traded and one must make some weird assumptions about currency differences over 4 century period which we really don't have accurate data for. There are also several current private entities worth more than a trillion when Apple went over the mark. But since they are private we really don't know their value. In Apple's case we know the exact minute it went over 1 trillion.
Fala Ai they were public, in fact for a moment they were the only public company, like they were the only company in the stock market.
@@willinton06 ---- Good info, I stand corrected.
"There" is short for "that is where"
Change my mind
hm, that was easy: www.etymonline.com/word/there
Isn't that what it actually mean? "Change my mind" i don't understand
"There you have it!" Has a different meaning from, "that is where you have it."
Who goes there?
vs
Who goes that is where?
mind changed.
There may be examples (for instance, at the beginning of this sentence) where the long form doesn't apply, but in that case "there" is a homonym for the short form of "that is where". Same word, multiple meanings
Just discovered this channel and cannot get enough! Perhaps I should have studied Economics after all...
Amazing videos, as always!
I thought Apple was valued at 1 trillion before amazon
John kesh it was.
except that Amazon actually has a fair priced service. it's like Bernie Sanders is Amazon while Apple, with it's overpriced "innovations," is Mike Bloomberg buying his way to the top
Joseph Leonard not sure what you mean by “overpriced innovation”, but I respectively disagree. Apple has consistently made increasingly absurd amounts of profit year over year for at least the past two decades. Apple’s family of products and services makes it arguably the most valuable brand in existence. Sure, iPhones still account for half their revenue, but they’ve also made considerable leaps in their services business, which made them $12.5 billion last quarter and accounted for nearly 20% of their overall revenue and continues to grow. And that’s not even counting their other hardware products like the iPad and MacBook as well as their wearables and accessories. If Apple stopped selling iPhones tomorrow, they’d still be in the top 10 most valuable companies by a comfortable margin. Besides maybe Microsoft, I’ve yet to see any other company that remains this profitable for this long in the way that Apple has. Like em or hate em, Apple’s reputation and valuation are completely justified.
@@Blastoise9000 no

I think it would be cool if you did a video about the exact opposite of this.. what's left if all of those shares lost their value over night. What would be left that had worth? Gold? Commodities? Would people still work? Maybe exploring the "dark" economy. I know in some countries that is even larger than the public economy.
As a Dutchman i must say that 16:57 min made very excited. Can't wait till the video comes out!
this channel keeps blowing my mind
Hi - I'm an investment banker and I focus on valuation for a living. The way you talk about valuing a company is not how we on Wall Street think about it. We think of the value of a company as the sum of the expected value of future cash flows discounted back to the present. So basically - how much am I going to get paid for owning this company and how long am I going to have to wait until I get those payments. You absolutely CANNOT value a company as book value + brand value.

A topical video. Great work
this video left me wishing it would have a continuation with the consequences that most likely will be felt by every now-young individual. Like : less jobs due to automation and huge pay gaps in tech vs rest of the world, etc.
The brand, and name are all in bookvalue as "goodwill" and intellectual property is in bookvalue as it's own line-item. The difference between book value and market cap comes from future cash flows discounted, that people are willing to pay for. A company is worth what a person is willing to pay for it.

These videos are excellent!
3:27 Damn, that's a fast charge!
16:10 This is why we are going to need a Universal Basic Income very soon. Most jobs will employ high-skilled individuals, whereas the repetitive and monotonous jobs are going to automated away - this is inevitably going to lead to mass unemployment as these simple jobs are dominating the job market today.
A UBI will let people contribute to society in a meaningful way. It could be anything, ranging from new startups, art, caring, volunteering, to research, etc etc.
A UBI is also a good solution for the time being. People that don't have a job gets a basic income, whereas people who do work, engineers, doctors etc, gets UBI + their well-deserved salary.
It's a win-win system.

East India trading company: am I a joke to you??
I would have expected the first explanation to be in terms of discounted future expected cash flow… because that’s what all these various values boil down to.
A lot of tech companies are having to allocate additional funds to areas like I.T, security teams, legal representation, R & D, various insurances, etc.... add that to what it generally cost to run a business (e.g. salaries, taxes, etc)
The next wave of big businesses will be the one’s that incorporate healthcare & technology simultaneously.

The thing is this, there wouldnt be trillion dollar companies if there were no central banks who print more deficit currency providing the need to spend and pay more for something than say even five years ago. Gasoline doesnt change, and neither does the scarcity and yet, it has gone up 100% in price in five years, so, there it is

Capitalism and free trade but I also believe that profits from that must be used for social programs (other than typical government programs and duties).
Social market economy. Vital infrastructure, healthcare and education in the hands of the people, likely through the work of an elected government, and the product and service side of the economy should be handled privatly with a fair bit of regulation. This way, we should have the good of capitalism, without leaving too many people in the dust.
