Thank you very much for making these classes available for free and online and, more importantly condensing them into 15-minute GEMS!! As I was listening to these, I recall how my Accounting/Finance classes were - some of the prof were more bent upon proving that the students couldn't solve a problem thrown at them than making sure they could. Hats off to you, Sir!! 🙏🙏
Dr. Damodaran - Thanks so much for this information. I have some questions, however, on the quantities you calculate in order to form your synthetic S&P rating: 1) how do you calculate the 'funds flow' part of 'funds flow/total debt', 2) how do you calculate 'capital' in order to form 'return on capital', 3) how do you determine operating income (via EBIT, EBITDA?), and, 4) how is 'free' operating cash flow different than just 'operating cash flow'? Thanks!
I wish someone shared this with me 15 years ago when I was looking at how to do it. I ended up not doing it because I knew I didn't have enough information...
Okay? How do I know the little market survey of spreads you developed is reasonable enough to account for defaults or not? How do I use duration to become immune to interest rates? I heard you say it was easy...but you have only covered step one of many. Right?

4 years late but look up immunisation bond portfolio strategies
@@mopedman1 Yes, thank you. My questions were largely rhetorical.
Awesome video!
Superb Sir
