"Any new trader coming into the market could learn from Buffett."
agree hundred percent
one thing that i am interested in is how Buffett does his valuations
lets say you have a company that is priced at $20 on the stockmarket
its PE =10
eps =$2
return on equity = 20%
growth rate = 20%
Mary Buffett in her book bases it on future returns
growth rate = 20%
Initial earnings figure = $2
Average PE = 10
intial price = $20
earnings five years down the track = $4.98
average PE = 10
price in five years $49.80
to get an expected rate of return of 15% you would pay anything up to $24.75
Roger Montgomery uses this formula
(ROE/ pretax RR) x EQPS = Intrinsic value
ROE = Return On Equity
RR = Required Return
EQPS = Equity Per Share
Eg
ROE = 20%
RR = 15%
EQPS = $10
(.20/.15) x $10 = 1.33 x 10 =$13.30
so according to Roger Montgomery he wouldn't pay $20 for these shares
in fact he wouldn't buy them unless they fell below $13.30
so on the one hand you have Mary Buffett saying that the shares are cheap below $24
and Roger Montgomery saying they are expensive
"Snowball" didn't help
