A lot of qualifiers there -- e.g., 'comfortable', selection bias, etc. But regardless, this is a bit of a strawman: I'm not at all arguing that success isn't correlated with effort; it's a question of the degree of correlation, and the amount of attribution. I'm in a nascent engineering startup myself, and I would hardly be motivated in *any* commercial endeavor if I believed there wasn't a correlation between effort and outcome!  I would actually grant you that engineering is probably one of the better examples of meritocracy out there today -- but there's a lot of caveats to that, and many engineers I know in large corporate environments are an underclass to much less technical, much less hard-working superiors.   And from personal experience, high-level academia breaks down rapidly beyond the undergraduate level.
It's interesting how the sentiment of a thread or phrasing of content affects voting. I basically said:  &gt; If a company wants to take advantage of the infrastructure (e.g. police, fire department, legal system, roads, street cleaning, clean water, etc.) then they should pay their fair share. What's so hard to understand about that?  Yet that gets way up and mine goes way down. Just interesting.
One place you might consider looking for answers is in case studies from Harvard Business School.  When I was working an MBA, we studied the default of Argentina as part of our economics coursework. Other sources for your consideration might include:
I am selling in an idea.   We are running a concierge MVP to test the insight behind an idea before going into development.  Essentially what the meeting will involve is me offering the brand some free market research.  Wow, never posted on /r/business before... negative community?
Heard.  Once-lauded?  It's still very prestigious, the article argued it can't claim the de-facto numero uno business school because partially of some ethical issues that have harmed the integrity of the school.    MBAs from top-tier institutions, even public ones, are highly valuable.
"He essentially invented the ""sharing economy"" and has the most valuable startup ever... how is that a ""shitty CEO"" lol. Dude has some personal problems and trouble dealing with them like a human would, figured a leave of absence would be enough. I'd hate to be in the place of some large stakeholders right now"
Here are some ideas:
You keep addressing irrelevant points. You're advocating an incompetent business with an inefficient model to continue running just to keep people employed. You're further assuming that they'll stay unemployed and no other, more efficient firm will capitalize on the niche that opened up with sears' passing.   Don't let emotions stomp on logic.
I don't know what you are asking. Can you give me an example of what fits the question?   That you use phrases like profit extraction make me think we have a different assumption base, so I think we have to find common syntactic ground before we can exchange ideas in a meaningful way. I would like to do so, though, so I hope you respond.

"I think he is trying to grasp at a marketable slogan here to see what would grab a lot of attentio to allow them to make a lot of money at his company.  It sounds like ""4 hour workweek"" kind of thing. everyone knows its bs, there is no way you can work for 4 hours and make a lot of money in a week, buts its this kind of fantasy that buyers are willing to pay money for. not different from other ideas that worked in the market"
I still fail to see where ownership comes into play.  Means of providing public goods and services are important to establish exactly because there isn't a clear ownership, no direct profit motive, and sometimes great long term benefits for costs that are not recuperated in the short term.
"I'll concede that you're probably speaking in good faith- I genuinely believe that you're original statement was one that meant to point out that the ruling class seek to squeeze all the value they can out of being the ruling class, which includes maximizing the size of the rest of the population to drive down wages and get the most labor out of payrolls as possible to maximize profit. I can concede that completely and never suspected that you felt otherwise.  That said, ""reasonable"" people are often unequipped to deal with extreme or academic scenarios using reason alone. My entire point of digression came from the use of the term ""commodity,"" as it refers to things of value who's value arises from their ability to be traded at a profit. Your statement regarding people fitting this definition was true in the time of feudalism- pushing that definition back to the idea that the labor of people was tradable (but people owned themselves) was a major improvement in human rights (happening for different people at different points in history). I drew a point of contention because it's an *important* and *historical* point of contention that should never slip backwards ever, without being pointed out."
"Definition: Fundamental analysis involves analyzing financial statements and health, management and competitive advantages, and competitors and markets. Books are a great way to learn fundamental analysis but can be time consuming for something that really isn't very difficult. So the internet might be a better way to get started. When using fundamental analysis all you are doing is trying to figure out how much a company is worth. The vocabulary and huge range of acronyms can be intimidating but really its a fairly simple task. You can use (investopedia) for definitions and simple examples when you do not fully understand something. IE: (PEG) You can search for definitions using the search bar on the top right (google also is a good source to look for additional definitions). I recommend starting out by doing an independent analysis on a well known name such as Proctor & Gamble or Mcdonald's. Then you can compare your analysis to a professionals and see how they stack up. Books and Resources: Getting Started in Fundamental Analysis Fundamental Analysis For Dummies Fundamental analysis Wiki What Is Fundamental Analysis? - Video tut from Investopedia Fundamental Analysis: Introduction Step by Step example of fundamental analysis - It's a pretty in depth forum post. Side Notes: Personally when I first began using fundamental analysis I found it difficult to understand why something is considered undervalued or overvalued. I couldn't figure out who was the ""authority"" on saying this. Well in short the ""authority"" basically is the market. You can say you believe XYZ is undervalued but you are only proven correct if the market agrees with you over long period of time. Some key facts you should know: Many times a stock can be ""broken"" for many reasons. The price can go far beyond what would be considered a ""normal valuation"" (this is considered a bubble, e.g. the tech bubble of 1999-2000). It can also go far below a ""normal valuation"". In most cases these types of valuations are short lived and in the end a stock should return to ""normal valuation"" or at least this is the theory behind fundamental analysis."

"I didn't mean that you think the right of private companies to do this comes from the first amendment (while others explicitly do, I'm not saying you do), but you said that you do think they should be able to.  Take the second paragraph of my comment, where I clarify that this is about rule of law, and ends justifying the means.  So how would you codify ""this instance""?"
A type of communism was also tried in early Virginia and failed: https://mises.org/library/fall-communism-virginia  Otoh, we must recognize that unrestrained capitalism often goes into rent-seeking behaviors once the successful companies are established and start influencing public policy; and that leads generally to oligarchy more geared to nepotism and such rather than meritocracy.
How much is your time worth This has been useful for me, judging things based on how much their time value is worth to me, weighted more heavily than their actual worth. For instance, there was a time when I used to work on the weekends and pay to have my laundry done. Doing the laundry myself would have cost 25 cents, but taken two hours at least. Since I was making $45 an hour, I would have lost $90 dollars by doing my laundry, instead of paying specialists $28 to do it for me, much better than I would. Your own capital should begin growing at a rate that makes many MANY things worth less than the time it takes for you to entertain it. So in your cable bill example, you shouldn't have argued for a $5 credit for two hours, unless you make $2.25 an hour, after tax. This is simplistic, as you would extrapolate how much this would cost you over a year or two, but such cost benefit analysis' become easy with this simple concept. This can also be used to rationalize your lavish expenditures. Such as not really comparing the costs for a flight, because its a 2 hour flight for $400 and you've found yourself making at least $200 an hour with your $416,000 annual earnings and capital gains. This will cure your frugality while retaining safe guards on your spending.
"I've heard a franchisee's outlet be described as a ""franchise"" before, although I agree it sounds a bit off.

* **Forbes** - $24.99 / Year / 26 Issues - I love the volume of content that Forbes provides and they seem to have a nice mix on a variety of subjects. I use Forbes as my frontpage of the internet for business in conjunction with several others. I actually feel like Forbes and Businessweek provide a perfect blend of business news with shocking little redundancy. * **Harvard Business Review** - Wasn't able to quickly see a price. I reference HBR a fair amount in regards to business discussions and think they provide excellent research material and information. The writing style and layout isn't quite as captivating as some of the other magazines such as Fast Company, but the quality is excellent, * **WSJ** - Obviously putting out a high volume of content, but you definitely pay for it. I know a fair number of people who read it, but I actually have never known anyone to subscribe to it if that makes sense. All the readers I know either receive a subscription through their work or university. I think that shows the content is valuable and quality, but it might not justify the cost you have to pay for it as an individual reader. I use a variety of websites to get business news, general education, and help me overall to understand the business world. Specifically from the ones listed above I check Businessweek and Forbes daily for morning or lunch reading. Forbes in particular does a solid job due to all of their external content contributors. Seems like an interesting way to provide content if you can curate it correctly. If you're more interested in the finance/investment world then I think Yahoo Finance and CNN Money are great. Focusing specifically on investments then I really enjoy the content I get from Motley Fool and Seeking Alpha. Some articles get pretty deep in regards to finance and investing, but overall I think they give great insight. I read BusinessInsider, but I'll be honest I feel dirty. Sometimes I find an interesting piece that leads me elsewhere to research more. The content is primarily distributed in a ""Buzzfeed"" style format which has some questionable headlines and less professional content (""7 Crazy Facts That Sound Fake But Are Actually True"").
"&gt;""Our support for these (shareholder resolutions on climate risk) proposals is not a matter of ideology, it's a matter of economics,"" he said.

"Tell me a better way to express the concept of synergy, please. And ROI. Deal with it? Manage expectations? Scalability? A deliverable?

"The company gets the proceeds from the sales of shares on the open market. If a company is selling 1,000,000 shares at $12/share then they will receive $12,000,000 from the underwriter minus some fees that the underwriter will collect. The part that ties into valuation is to consider what percentage is the company selling of itself that is coming from its own holdings. If the company is putting out 10% of its shares in the IPO from treasury holdings on a $10B valuation then it will get $1B minus the fees I'd suspect. Where I worked in late 1990s/early 2000s had an IPO where the underwriter did a bridge loan and the IPO so that the company didn't get all the money raised but did get enough to run operations for a while before ending operations. Public Offering notes that after an IPO other offerings would be called ""seasoned equity offering"" that may or may not be dilutive as they could come from new or existing shares."
&gt; if a company paid taxes on what profits were created within a countries borders, that would be a fairly accurate method of calculating every country's fair percent of revenue from that company  That's exactly what I said in the post you originally replied to.
Ok so I used Excel solver for this but it's on the right track.  Latest price = $77.19  Latest div = $1.50  3-yr div growth = 28%  g = ???  rs = 14%  So we'll grow out the dividend 3 years @ 28%, and then capitalize them into perpetuity using a cap rate of [rs - g], and take the NPV using the rs of 14%. We can set it up and then solve g assuming an NPV of the current share price of $77.19.  So it should be:  NPV = $77.19 =   [$1.50 / (1+0.14)^0 ] +  [$1.50 x (1+0.28)^1 / (1+0.14)^1 ] +  ... +  [$1.50 x (1+0.28)^3 / (1+0.14)^3 ] +  [$1.50 x (1+0.28)^3 x (1+g) / (0.14-g) / (1+0.14)^4 ]  Which gives an implied g of a little under 9%. Let me know if this makes sense, and definitely check the work...
One explanation is that movie patrons are considering their total willingness to pay for the movie experience so that if the ticket price plus the market price of popcorn is less than their willingness to pay (WTP), the theater has an opportunity to extract more consumer surplus by charging higher than market prices for the popcorn (that is, price discrimination). There is a working paper on the subject by Gill and Hartmann (2008), the abstract of which reads: Prices for goods such as blades for razors, ink for printers and concessions at movies are often set well above cost. Theory has shown that this could yield a profitable price discrimination strategy often termed “metering.” The idea is that a customer’s intensity of demand for aftermarket goods (e.g. the concessions) provides a meter of how much the customer is willing to pay for the primary good (e.g. admission). If this correlation in tastes for the two goods is positive, a high price on the aftermarket good allows firms to extract a greater total price (admissions plus concessions) from higher type customers. This paper develops a simple aggregate model of discrete-continuous demand to motivate how this correlation can be tested using simple regression techniques and readily available firm data. Model simulations illustrate that the regressions can be used to predict whether aftermarket prices should be above, below or equal to their marginal cost. We then apply the approach to box-office and concession data from a chain of Spanish theaters and find that high priced concessions do extract more surplus from customers with a greater willingness to pay for the admission ticket. Locay and Rodriquez (1992) make a similar argument in a JPE article. They essentially argue that purchases of things like movie tickets are made by groups; once individuals are constrained by the group's choice, the firm has additional market power: We present models in which price discrimination in the context of a two-part price can occur in some competitive markets. Purchases take place in groups, which choose which firms to patronize. While firms are perfectly competitive with respect to groups, they have some market power over individual consumers, who are constrained by their groups' choices. We find that firms will charge an entry fee that is below marginal cost, and the second part of the price is marked up above marginal cost. The markup not only is positive but increases with the quality of the product.
This is a note from my broker, CMC Markets, who use Morningstar: Morningstar calculate the P/E Ratio using a weighted average of the most recent earnings and the projected earnings for the next year. This may result in a different P/E Ratio to those based solely on past earnings as reported on some sites and other publications. They show the P/E as being 9.93. So obviously past earnings would usually be used but you would need to check with your source which numbers they are using. Also, as BHP's results just came out yesterday it may take a while for the most recent financial details to be updated.

You're welcome, good questions on a confusing topic! Let me see if I can unpack it a bit, try to clear up the way accrual accounting jukes and jives...  &gt;  I buy an airline today. I get to recognize the revenue from any pre-sold tickets starting tomorrow and reduce my deferred revenue liability...  Hmm... Are you sure that's the case? Does purchasing the business somehow cause those future events to resolve?  I could be way off base here so let me know if I'm missing something, but whenever an airline ticket is purchased in advance, it's a balance sheet issue. Cash is increased and there is a liability created for Deferred Revenue. The revenue hits the income statement only when the flight takes place. As you noted, this would be accompanied with the usual trappings of costs and expenses, etc.  &gt;  However, I don't get that cash as it has already been paid to the previous owner.  Sure you do! Their bank account is now yours, right? I imagine that buying an airline company would be a matter of transferring ownership rather than to resolve any underlying uncertainty in the recognition of earnings, yeah?  As for valuation, it may depend on if you're looking at the income statement in isolation and relying on EPS or if you're using a more integrated approach with the balance sheet, which would bring these sorts of developments to light.  Does that help? Any part still clear as mud?  EDIT: words
Here's a few demo steps, first calculating the year to date return, then calculating the Q4 quarterly return based on the cumulative returns for Q3 and Q4.   It's fine to use closing price to closing price as return periods.
Here's a few. Is this what you're looking for? Also this should probably be a community wiki.
That statement above was your own in the context of discussion degrees and college education. From the context in the discussion that statement appears to say you support college as being the way people become educated in civics.
