I have watched about 20 hours of these videos and Aswath is one of the best teachers out there. He has a good personality compared to many professors at university that I have attended.

I took the CVA exam a week ago, and was reading these past few days to keep touching up on areas I would like to improve. Then I decided to look for a video online, and I'm glad I did. I am going to watch all the sessions. You are an excellent teacher/speaker and have my undivided attention.
Hi Rick, now you can meet Prof. Ashwath and learn from the Masterguru himself !! He will discuss about Business Valuation in a 2-Days Intensive Training. Share your e-mail id and I will mail you the details.
Huge fan. Remembering me reading "Investment Philosophies" in 2004 and thinking: should be awesome to have a class with this man. Here I am! Crystal clear explanations.
Professor Damodaran, Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge with the world. Your textbook is great and these video lectures help clarify and solidify the concepts. I cannot wait to watch your 2023 classes.
Valuation gives you a foundation to rationally analyze a company before deciding to buy/sell Problems in valuation: 1. Bias 2, valuation is objective 3. less is more Three methods 1. Intrisic: based on fundamental 2. Relative: compare based on similar companies 3. Contingent claim: Companies which will only profit if certain events happen assumption of valuation: MARKET MAKES MISTAKES
I thought I've known something about valuation as having passing CFA level 2, but get hooked by his first few bullet points already. It’s been elevated to philosophical level!
I missed my Valuation class at University and my report is due this week ...Feeling like a Lemming, the cliff option seems affable. I found this Professor's videos and I take the option of climbing the cliff in 2 days :). Thank you Prof. Domodaran

I'm here because NVDA feels almost too good to be true and I don't want to be a Yogi Bear lemming. I keep hearing they have great fundamentals, but I want to be able to make an unbiased valuation myself. best of luck to you in the courses!
You, Mr. Damodaran, will be my way to success in investing. I'd done all the basics through a course on YT, but I needed a more advanced course to get my head around valuation and corporate finance. I feel so lucky for real. Thank you, professor, can't wait to watch all of your videos.
This is the first video of yours which I have just now completed. I am expecting some quality learning time now. I never thought of learning with this level of professional teachers. Thanks for making quality learning available for free to watch. My teacher mentioned your videos while answering a student. I decided to give it a go. I am glad I did.
Aswath, I love that you bring up "herd mentality" with the lemmings analogy... BUT that isn't really how lemmings work! They don't die from falling off a cliff. They all jump off because they think the ocean below is just another lake that they can cross in the course of their migration. Lemmings that approach the ocean from a beach (as opposed to a cliff) ALSO enter the water en masse -- so you see it's not a "jumping off a cliff" thing. Regardless of their entry point, these lemmings swim away from land, thinking that, as in a lake, they will eventually reach the other side. Of course, they never do. They simply exhaust themselves swimming and drown. However, your point about herd mentality still holds! Thank you for this great series!
Feel like I a got a FREE college education! Appreciate you sharing the lecture Prof. AD! Many fundamentals regarding valuation can be applied to other aspects of life.
I am not even good at English but this video really easy to understand. I like the explanation of herd mentality but don't really know about lemmings. Up untill now I don't know what kind of valuation that I used,. But after watching this I know now that I used relative valuation and finally realised it's weakness. Thanks for sharing
Just watching first video- must say its a very simple and wonderful way of explaining . Its simplicity kept me listening and i want to see all videos till the last. As rightly said being simple is the toughest thing in life
I wish one day all the teachers is the world can able to teach like how is sir Damodaran is doing. When a person teach something that he is interested in not only he teach it simple but also makes the learning experience so much fun and engaging.❤ Thankyou so much for your hard work sir. I looking foreword to my learning journey of valuation in your guidance.
Great video! Thanks for taking the time to do this! I look forward to watching them all. My personal choice for picking stocks is the following. Debt is well covered by cash. So in effect zero debt. Calculate enterprise value and divide against last 12 months of earnings. If this ratio is below 10 I become interested. Check this against other companies in same industry. Ive only managed to find a handful of companies this criteria meets.

3. Contingent claim: Companies which will only profit if certain events happen

Thank you once again, Prof. Damodaran for your 20+ years of valuable teaching.
I am not even good at English but this video really easy to understand.
I like the explanation of herd mentality but don't really know about lemmings. Up untill now I don't know what kind of valuation that I used,. But after watching this I know now that I used relative valuation and finally realised it's weakness.
Thanks for sharing
Can’t believe this is free 🤯
That's amazing! A really enormous thanks from a brazilian student!
I really appreciate your efforts and thank you for giving such a variety of ways to think about valuation.
Remembering Prof DAMODORAN , Theory of Finance, 230, HAAS 1985, an excellent professor but also a great gentleman!!!
Just watching first video- must say its a very simple and wonderful way of explaining . Its simplicity kept me listening and i want to see all videos till the last. As rightly said being simple is the toughest thing in life
I wish one day all the teachers is the world can able to teach like how is sir Damodaran is doing. When a person teach something that he is interested in not only he teach it simple but also makes the learning experience so much fun and engaging.❤
Thankyou so much for your hard work sir. I looking foreword to my learning journey of valuation in your guidance.
Great video! Thanks for taking the time to do this! I look forward to watching them all. My personal choice for picking stocks is the following. Debt is well covered by cash. So in effect zero debt. Calculate enterprise value and divide against last 12 months of earnings. If this ratio is below 10 I become interested. Check this against other companies in same industry. Ive only managed to find a handful of companies this criteria meets.
Honestly, I feel like I should be paying for this information. Thank you so much for a such clear explanation
Holy crap! I wish I found this before! Damodaran baby! Thanks for helping me in my finance course!
You can only become truly accomplished at something you love. Don’t make money your goal. Instead, pursue the things you love doing, and then do them so well that people can’t take their eyes off you. --Maya Angelou][][
