A $500 stock can be cheap. A $5 stock can be expensive. This free course teaches you to tell the difference — from first principles to professional-grade DCF modelling.
Same question, opposite answer: the “$50 stock” is the ten-times-bigger company. Price per share tells you nothing until you know the share count — and even then, nothing about value.Start Module 1 →

What you'll be able to do
Value any profitable company with a discounted cash flow (DCF) model — by hand, and understanding every line.
Screen quickly and correctly with multiples, and spot when a “cheap” multiple is a value trap.
Value dividend payers with the Gordon and two-stage dividend discount models.
Adapt the toolkit for the hard cases — banks, REITs, resource cyclicals, and money-losing growth stocks.
Compute a margin of safety and turn analysis into a disciplined buy/pass decision.
Read any valuation someone hands you — your own or an analyst's — and know which assumptions are carrying it.
