    I think this man is a great teacher. He explains everything in very clear language, and avoids obscurantism, yet without slowing the moving train down so much that it's at a crawl. He does well at presenting all the principles clearly, when it is easy to make someone's head swim, especially when a bit of maths are introduced. Good work!

    If you wanna be successful, you must take responsibility for your emotions, not place the blame on others. In addition to making you feel more guilty about your faults, pointing the finger at others will only serve to increase your sense of personal accountability. There's always a risk in every investment, yet people still invest and succeed. You must look outward if you wanna be successful in life

Most of us are interested in the stock market, so how can we better use these techniques to perform valuations on the companies we are looking to invest in vs. an outright purchase?

    Just so I understand correctly, this valuation would no be entirely precise, since you would be actually be earning 10% on the 1st years earnings for 4 years, and 10% on the 2nd years earnings for 3 years, etc. Is that correct? (actually, wouldn't that calculation be the Internal Rate of Return?)

    Thank you so much for explaining in detail, very helpful in understanding. I am a mature (age 35 going on 36) BSc Accounting and Finance International (Black American) student.
    UPDATE some hours later: someone's comment on here is correct. I realise too (further research I have done) that Tim Bennett forgot to acknowledge the initial investment figure into the business. You then need to subtract the Total DCF from the initial investment figure to see if the answer called NPV (Net Present Value) will hopefully be positive to re-invest into the business. And this would interest the investors to want to invest in the business and earn a reasonable return.
    The rest of what Tim Bennett has mentioned is valid.
