So essentially, we are still using PE this way. But in doing so, basically, we are applying the PE methodology on the terminal value, and this value actually constitutes a larger part of the final intrinsic value. 18. Which is why most people doing DCF usually put in a sensitivity table showing how the intrinsic value changes as discount rate changes. 3. What if we change the discount rate? 18 calculated using the complicated discount cashflow. To calculate the value of the firm, we need to discount these future cashflow back to today. In fact, we need to do DCF for 100 years in order for the last few years to become small enough such that it doesn’t matter. Not only that, but it is a great idea if you have enough extra income to do it. Stock markets have survived the Great Depression, Wars, Oil shocks, Hyper-inflation etc. The only exception is Japan which is mired in major issues which deserves a couple of posts to discuss.

I would say that operational / IT and Legal risks are very hard to quantify / systematise beyond something like a pseudo objective exercise like a risk register. It’s often impossible to minimise or control the probability of something happening, if that something is an external market event like a recession. Looking at these it’s obvious that some of them are things that are hard to systematise, and almost impossible to automate. I would say that there are many differences and if you want to know them all you simply should seek for differences between young people and matured people.

And that is normal in some way because young people can risk more – they have very long investment approach and that is the main factor for risk selection of an investor. Might be hard to distinguish from market risk (eg option smile: is the Black-Scholes model wrong, or is it just that the correct price of OTM vol is higher?). Might be hard to distinguish from market and pricing model risk (“is this loss a 6 sigma event, or was our measurement of sigma wrong?”). The final article will be about endogenous risk management, explain the simple method I use in my own trading system, and show an implementation of this in pysystemtrade. It’s very easy to program up an automated trading system which, for example, won’t trade more than 1% of the current open interest in a given futures delivery month. This is for those with ample liquidity who can afford to buy a bit now, wait for more blood on the streets and average down. Investment for young folks is a bit different from regular investing.

As the casual reader of this blog (or my book) will be aware, I like to delegate my trading to systems, since humans aren’t very good at it (well, I’m not). First, something like Lehman might not happen. So if we didn’t buy now, we might miss the boat before we even realize. It won’t take you long to study up on index investing and the gains you’ll miss out on by waiting a few days are negligible.

Market commentators are talking about 1/3 chance of recession, but I believe the reality is that we are already in recession.

It is time for you to analyze one or two companies and decide how much you can invest in these companies. Once you have studied and thoroughly comprehended the concepts in this book, you should never again agonize over which stocks to buy, or how much to buy, or when to sell them. For investors outside of the US, it is common to recommend allocating a much smaller percentage to domestic stocks (e.g., 20% to 30%) although costs and other country-specific factors need to be considered. Bcos you can never be sure whether you really got the intrinsic value right, you need to have a margin of safety.
