Time Frame of Valuation through DCF
Hi, I'm a beginner and I know this is a stupid question, but I just started making DCFs. I was wondering what the time frame on the share price given to a stock by the DCF is, and how to change it. For example, if I wanted to create a 3-year price target, would my price target just be what the DCF...
Learning how to Stock Pitch?
For those of you who have transitioned from IB/PE to hedge funds, how did you go about making your first "professional" stock pitches for interviews? Any guidelines on length?

Influence of Recapitalization on Stock Price
Let's say a company wants to do a recapitalization in which it issues debt to buy back equity. This will effectively reduce the market capitalization by the value of the repurchased shares and increase it by the NPV of the recap (due to the tax shield). However, in an efficient market, wouldn't the...

Is Zoom Overvalued?
I'm still an intern, but I can't seem to wrap my head around 2000x P/E ratios. Market cap of 100B and operating income of around 25M. What's stopping me from shorting the fuck out of it. They seem to project a continued growth in revenue at like CAGR 100% (currently at around 600M) which has...
Is NIO overhyped?
I'm sure you've all heard all of the hype surrounding companies such as NIO, XPeng and Li Autos. I am unsure if they are really worth near what people feel they are. What are your thoughts on this, and if not these what companies do you feel are good investment opportunities right now? Thanks in...
SBC - Technology, OPEX or Naw?
Why is SBC NOT considered a "real" operating expense in the land of tech??? I come from a tech PE background and where this is much less common, but in public markets, almost all street analysts exclude SBC from their models and valuation targets. Why is this? Specifically, if they are also using...
Investing as a PE associate
Anyone have any information on whether or not you are allowed to invest on your own as a PE associate? (in individual stocks, funds, etc.) Obviously there are a lot of restrictions in IB on investment accounts and was wondering if the same type of restrictions still exist. Thanks!

Chinese Stock Crash?
It's looking worse and worse for Shanghai and Shenzhen. Granted, these stocks still had massive gains for the year, but they're being wiped out.

I consider myself a rookie investor, I have two separate accounts: one for my IRA and another Robinhood account for testing my own ideas and research.

A good year ends, but what's next for stocks?
As an exceptionally good year for stocks comes to an end, the talk of stock market bubbles fills the air. Among others, Robert Shiller warns us, that based upon his market measure of value, that we are in "bubble" territory and almost every acquaintance that I have starts off by asking me whether I...

Love the company! Love the product! Love the stock? An Update on Apple
My first computer was a Mac 128K . I was a budget-constrained doctoral student from UCLA, teaching my very first class at UC Berkeley. At $2,500, in 1984 dollars, it consumed all of my discretionary income for that year, but it was love at first sight. Having sampled what the PC world had to offer,...

Shareholders Equity
Would you add or subtract treasury stock for SE on the balance sheet ? Treasury stock is the shares the company buys back, correct, so wouldn't you subtract it? But then again, you can keep treasury stocks in the firms treasury, in case the firm needs some quick cash? Thanks.
America's Stock Market Thrives Under Democrats?
I found this to be pretty interesting. The general perception seems to be that Democrats are responsible for stifling government regulations, therefore the Republicans are the white knights of the street. This says otherwise. http://www.economist.com/blogs/graphicdetail/2012… Discuss.

Would You Own Stock in Goldman Sachs?

Hedging Your Bonus
I had to stop and think about this one for a few minutes. Eric Dash wrote this piece for Dealbook outlining how partners at Goldman Sachs (among other banks) have been hedging the non-cash portions of their bonuses since 2007. On the surface, it looks like an attempt to circumvent the "safeguards"...

Hello! It's my first time posting, but I have been browsing these forums for a long time. I was just wondering how much do stock traders make for the companies they work for on average? If they start the year with, say 500k to trade, how much can they turn it into by the end of the year? 5m? 7m?...
Gov't Struggles to Unload Citigroup
Breaking up is hard to do. At least that's what the Treasury is discovering in their efforts to divest the taxpayer of their stake in Citigroup ( NYSE:C ). Thanks to a summer of anemic trading volume, it looks like they're going to miss their year-end deadline to unload the entire stake, and may...
Scam Science: The Short and Distort
Short sellers get a bad rep when they really shouldn't. I think it's because 90% of the population doesn't understand how you can sell something you don't own, or how you can make money by the value of something dropping. The way I used to explain it to people is that there is only one way to make...
Scam Science: Chop
Ask any of the older guys at your firm about chop and you're guaranteed to get a chuckle.
