An Old Film on the Stock Market

http://www.historicfilms.com/tapes/5008

PRESENTS BEHIND-THE-SCENES DOCUMENTARY OF A DAY ON WALL STREET FROM OPENING GONG TO CLOSING OF THE DAY’S TRADING IN THE STOCK MARKET. FURIOUS PACE OF NEW YORK & AMERICAN STOCK EXCHANGES AND COMMODITY TRADING MARKETS AS LEADING BROKERS AND TRADERS EXPLAIN THEIR BUYING AND SELLING PHILOSOPHIES WITHOUT INTERRUPTING THEIR ACTIVITIES ON THE FLOOR. This covers the history of the stock market mostly from 1920 to 1960. Fascinating.

What is Intrinsic Value? Readings

Intrinsic Value

One, it is the price that you think a rational and well-informed buyer would be willing to pay for the entire company.

It is the amount of cash that you expect if the company liquidated itself and distributed the proceeds to shareholders.

Or it is the present value of the amount of cash that you expect the company to generate over time, doscounted back to the present. That’s it.

And those are all really just different ways of saying  the same thing. An intrinsic value is not a point. It changes over time and it is typically a range of values. Our goal is to try to come up with a reasable value bon what rational people would be willing to pay.  —  Keith Trauner of Goodhaven
