May 1, 2020 – 8 Lessons are now up on the course website. I’ve enjoyed the interaction with several individuals who signed up and I’ve learned quite a bit myself in the process. If you are interested you can start anytime. There is no cost and it is learn at your own pace. Here is a link to the Course Invitation and the Syllabus.

Aswath Damodaran is a Professor Of Finance at NYU Stern School of Business. If you watch this video from minute 12:45 to 17:40 you will gain insight into why I have so much interest in valuation and working with privately held businesses. Valuation is forensic in nature. It is for numbers people and storytellers. Aswath is incredibly generous. He posts many of his courses online via YouTube. He is a significant influence in my understanding and utilization of valuation.

Pay special attention to his second question about company growth.
