  2. Disclaimer • Stock speculation is very risky • Do not trade with more than you can afford to lose. • Seek professional investment advice. • This is not investment advice. • No warranties, you are on your own.

  3. What Makes Stocks Cheap? • Stocks are cheap when the underlying value of the stock is much less than the current price • Rubber band • Price is much less than value = cheap • NOT future value – actual, hard, present value • No pie in the sky

  4. What is VALUE? • Value is almost always based on two things • 1. Assets • 2. Earnings • The other things claimed to be value – reputation, goodwill, good management, blah, blah, have to show up in earnings to be valuable

  5. Earnings • Price earnings ratio – low P/E is good • You put $100,000 in a bank Certificate of Deposit (CD) for a year and get 2% interest • You paid 50 times earnings = the price of the CD divided by the earnings (interest) • How smart is this when you can easily find stocks selling at 10 times earnings or less? • But stocks' prices change and CDs are insured

  6. Earnings Yield • If the stock sells at $10 and makes $1.00 per share in earnings, the price-earnings ratio is ten • And the “earnings yield is 10% • In other words, all things being equal, your stock should grow 10% per year

  7. Valuing Assets • Cash – no haircut = 100% • Receivables – not all may be collected • Inventory – may be stale – how fast does it turn • Property, plant and equipment – what price was it bought at, how much deprecation • Intangibles – I usually value at zero, can be inflated

  8. Shareholders Equity • Adjust for preferred stock, warrants, etc. • Treasury stock – At what price does the company buy its own stock? • Calculate book value per share

  9. Cash and Working Capital • Calculate cash per share, working capital per share • Working Capital is current assets minus current liabilities • Calculate current ratio by dividing current assets by current liabilities – two or better is good

  10. Summary – Buy Cheap Stocks • Cheap stocks are cheap comparing price with value • Value is book value and earnings power • Do NOT use future value – only present value • Calculate book value per share, cash per share, working capital per share, and price earnings ratio
