Share It!
Description:
In trying to assess the value of a company, market capitalization refers to the number of stock shares times the stock price. Perceived value in this case is predicated upon the price that buyers are willing to pay for the stock in the market. When referring to equity, it is a more detailed calculation of worth, as it subtracts liabilities from assets to determine the company’s break up value, i.e, if everything in the company had to be sold. An analogy would be what a diamond necklace might be worth at an auction at Sotheby’s vs. its breakup individual stone value per karat weight at a pawnshop jeweler.

you invest a thousand bucks in a ten-year bond that pays 6% of a year in
- 00:30
interest, the dough comes back to you in a pattern that looks like this - like
- 00:35
every six months they pay thirty bucks and it's $60 a year, got it? nice. you get
- 00:41
the total of sixteen hundred bucks back from your investment and the cash that
- 00:45
came back to you you know came in small parts all along the way, until you got [list of yearly returns]
- 00:49
about two thirds of it or sixty percent at the end right? if you just spent that
- 00:53
money and collected your thousand bucks at the end that's it. okay so that's
- 00:58
arithmetic compounding/ the money comes to you if you don't reinvest it.
- 01:01
ding-ding-ding that's the key here and you just go buy burgers. okay so now
- 01:06
let's look at what six percent compounded looks like over the same
- 01:10
10-year period .well at the end of year one it's a thousand sixty bucks and note
- 01:14
we're only gonna compound it annually we probably should do the semi-annually but [list of yearly compounds]
- 01:18
we'd confuse you even more so don't do that. but then you essentially reinvest
- 01:21
that money and you get another six percent compounded on that thousand
- 01:25
sixty , instead of six percent compounded against the original thousand. so by the
- 01:30
end of year two you'll have a thousand one hundred twenty three sixty. and by
- 01:34
the end of year ten you'll have one thousand seven hundred and ninety
- 01:37
dollars and eighty-five cents. so why do you make so much more money when you
- 01:41
compound interest versus getting 30 bucks twice a year like you would in
- 01:46
this bond example? go and find burgers with it? yeah .you don't want to do that
- 01:50
well essentially what's happening is that you're delaying your gratification [man in a drive through window]
- 01:53
of getting that sweet sweet cash or getting liquid whatever you want to call
- 01:58
it. by reinvesting your gains year after year after year. so do you have that sort
- 02:04
of self-control? do you need the cash yeah that's the question if you for
- 02:08
example have trouble making it home from your local pizza spot with the pie
- 02:12
in tact well then compound interest keeping the discipline to not spend the [man eats pizza while driving]
- 02:16
money today and wait for the happiness tomorrow well when that may not be for
- 02:20
you. sorry
