Investing Catechism

Quote from trendlover:

Quote from Ghost of Cutten:

After soaring 50 fold in just over a decade with no dividend, Apple stock is now significantly lower than the price where it announced its dividend. What do you say to that?

Quote from nitro:
Let's talk real estate. I haven't got a clue how to do plumbing, or carpentry, or electricity, but I can buy a building. I can then rent the units and I have cash flow. I may then one day sell it for a higher price than I bought it. Do you see the difference? If a stock pays no dividends or shit dividends, that is like buying a building that I can't rent out! All I can hope to do is sell it to somone else for a higher price, and hope he doesn't care that it doesn't generate income. In other words, a ponzy scheme. But hey, as long as a new sucker steps up to the plate because "stocks are valued based on their earnings", it happens and will continue to happen all the time.


Cutten, this is from page 3. What I think nitro say is the dividend is guarantee money in all the time someone own the stock.

His post is like seeing somebody claim the earth is flat. Its so out there and ridiculous its not even a starter on a debate. I would suggest if Nitro wants to speculate on stocks, he take a good finance course and forget all these fantasy land theories.

FV for a company is defined as taking historical assets and subtracting its liabilities and then dividing the overall valuation by the number of shares issued I would get FV.

Does anyone know if I can find historical values for each day for a companies' "FV" as defined above?

What I see is important for some traders to see is
1. return on invested capital
2. Cash flow
3. Indebtedness

In the long-run sense, for any portfolio, the probability of a drawdown of any magnitude, approaches certainty.
