I'm in disbelieve! I can't believe this is on YT for free.

I feel I'm so smart for understanding everything so easily, but that's because he's so great at teaching.

1. Valuation is simple, we choose to make it complex. 2. Every valuation has a narrative behind it. A good valuation is more about the story than about the numbers. 3. When valuations go bad, it's not because of the numbers, it's because of biases, uncertainty and complexity.

I’ve taught for 25 years. This man is excellent teacher.

This is gold, pure gold

Most KZfaq investing gurus don’t tell these valuable lessons. This is gold

Mr. Damodaran explained in 16:14 minutes which my professor could not in an entire semester!

"Markets are correct on an average but wrong individualy" What a quote!!

Great set of videos. I'm sharing the link with my students here at Indiana University!!

I seriously can listen to this guy talk forever. He has a talent for speaking that's for sure.

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.

Thank you for making these lessons public. I am learning how to invest, and you are a valuable teacher!

The lecturer of the lecturers!

I just stumbled upon these videos and have watched the first 2 sessions. Prof. Damodaran's explanations are easy to understand; his analogues funny and relevant. I plan to finish the entire series. But I want to express my gratitude first to Prof. Damodaran for openly sharing the materials online. Thank you!

By far, the best take on valuation analysis I have ever heard, no numbers, no fancy jargon, simply explaining in layman's english, the underlying fundamentals of valuation.

Brilliant! Mr.Damodaran is the best professor out there. Thanks a ton for sharing the videos.

I'm glad I've found your videos Mr. Damodaran. I wish we met years ago and I could built my fundamentals solid. Now, I'm learning everything from the beginning. Thank you so much. Greetings from Turkey.

You're probably one of the best financial minds because of the simplicity you make things and the honesty you use. It's so easy to understand you logic, rationale and truth.

I have challenged myself to put away 50% of my monthly income into stock options which is quite easy since I live frugal without debt. I work as an account executive, and make over $20000. $10000 goes into dividends, and the other $10000 covers my my food plus living expenses. I am seeing improvements in my portfolio, dividends look certain, but I have to attribute this to only to guidance of a licensed fund manager who allocates funds to a plethora of assets. Just got my first property, still I have to stay disciplined, and remember that I’m in it for the long term. Good luck to everyone and thanks for the great video.

In 3 minutes of watching him, I am in awe of him....heard a lot about him earlier but didnt know about this YT channel..It is Gold........i just wish I came across this content 5 years ago

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

True Guru! Thank you professor for all your generous sharing!

08:43 why not build a big model 09:10 how to build a "SUITABLE" model 09:30 intrinsic valuation means: cash flow, growth, risk 12:00 3 kinds of approaches: 1. intrinsic valuation (cash flow valuation) 12:59 2. relative valuation 14:28 3. option pricing & the context of valuation

You really have the gift of teaching, Sir. Thank you!

Such simplification of words made me understand the Valuation easily, I am so glad I found this. Indeed a great teacher you are. Thanks a lot for uploading these.

This is Gold, and it's sitting here since 2014. Worse, I have no idea till now. Thanks a ton. Sir, I'll make you my dhronacharya.

I really appreciate your efforts and thank you for giving such a variety of ways to think about valuation.

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.

Thank you very much 🙏 Incredible to live in a time where content like this is accessible to almost the entire world for free.

Can’t believe took me so long to find this class, for free. Very appreciated!

Creating wealth Through the right information.

Exceptional explanation, objective, simple and good paced. As good as his books. Thank you for your time teacher.

Wow. This is briliant! Cannot wait to see rest of it. Thank you!

Thank you so much for the videos Mr. Damodaran!

Aswath sir - you can sell this course and can make millions out of it but you are setting the true definition of a "TEACHER". Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

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.

I'm not at all from finance background, after covid in during the stock market boom I first time tried to learn about the stock market. I searched for valuation and stumbled upon your video sir. Thank you for explaining in simple and practical language.

Glad I found this gem of a lecture series, can’t believe its free, wish I had a professor like him during my university years..😀

Aswath Damodaran on teaching valuation is what David J Malan is to computer science education. Two passionate teachers on a mission to break down complex topics for everyone into easy digestible chunks. True legends in their fields of learning 🙌🏻 #Respect.

As an Engineer who wishes to trade stocks, this explanation is INSANE... I have watched a lot of videos of valuation but this is gold..

Thank you once again, Prof. Damodaran for your 20+ years of valuable teaching.

I remember at 2008 learn his book.I hated it so much about valuation and corporate finance. Now.I am a business owner and there we go......i should open that dark blue book again. in conclusion.i was wrong to hate it but this proffesor keep consistent for what he is doing ...very big respect

Goddamn, these lectures are pure gold. I am so glad I came across them.

I got to know about you a month back. I have used your data sets about ERP, Risk free rates and TGR. Today suddenly this video popped out and now I am a fan.

This guy is amazing! Thank you dear professor! My first video and I feel happy watching and learning for you.

Aswath is like Yoda. A totally different clothing style and a Big inspiration for me personally.

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

Not only great information but his presentation skills are excellent. I could listen to him lecture all day.

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.

Just brilliant! Appreciate your work professor Aswath!

Loved how you simplified everything. Wonderfully explained

Holy crap! I wish I found this before! Damodaran baby! Thanks for helping me in my finance course!

Honestly, I feel like I should be paying for this information. Thank you so much for a such clear explanation

Literally the best lecturer I have ever heard. Thank you for sharing your work with us!

The man who makes you feel less afraid about your career in Finance

Masterful! Had I, teachers like Mr. Damodaran, I would have been a different person, at a different level. Profuse thanks!

If you can value your life and plan according to that then you are the greatest valuator mate!

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

Dear Professor, Thanks very much for your videos. Now I can be your so-called student. Your sharing helps millions of students around the world, especially those with a developing financial market in their country but lack of these lessons like Vietnam. Thank you very much again and wish Professor health and happiness. Tien Huynh

This was fantastic. I loved the way you can teach this concept through effective metaphor. Thank you

Thank you professor. I read your book during my MBA. But to my surprise, you have shared it all for free on KZfaq! Prayers and best wishes for you.

Thank you for this Aswath. I appreciate you sharing this.

so honest and so truthful - i love Aswath! my fave!

Wow thanks a lot Sir for sharing your knowledge N experience.

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.

Professor thank you for sharing your wisdom. I wish you the best life has to offer sir.

You are a genius Aswath. This introduction is really useful to understand why we are doing valuations. Thanks for sharing!!

This video was shared by my teacher from the University of Guadalajara, awesome content.

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

Thank you for putting this valuable content online for everyone.

This channel is a gold mine

Thank you so much, your videos are probably the most helpful I've found on investing and valuation - I really appreciate the time and effort you've put in to making these videos and I'm going to watch them all 😁👍

I cant believe this was made 8 years ago, quality can still beat alot of youtubers

Thanks for uploading such a high quality content. I am delighted to learn from you.

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. He teaches in a very clear manner and does an outstanding job of relaying important information and clear concepts. Id love to go to his lectures in person.

Hands down the best video i found on youtube about valuation !!! thank you sir

Excellent class! I am very surprised about how clear he was!

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.

Calm Voice, obviously well educated with experience to back things up. Wish i stumble upon this class earlier. I would love the chance to meet with you. Thank you , Fritzlor

Amazing stuff, I look forward to digging into the course!:)

It's awesome how easy he makes this stuff... really difficult to do in most of the finance courses I've been apart of.
