However, I have reached a point where I need some clarification, because I am having trouble with some of your math. As one example, your Cost of Equity sample: 3.72% +1.29 * 4% = 9.16%<br /><br />My math skills are not at your level, I am sure; however, everything I have been taught about math suggests that the result should be 8.88%, not 9.16%.<br /><br />I have some other examples, if they would be helpful.<br /><br />So: Where am I going wrong? (Or, if I am correct, is there an list of errata with corrections that I can reference?)<br /><br />I thank you for you time.<br /><br />Sincerely,<br />Joshua KiznerJoshua Kiznernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8152901575140311047.post-77467164045523479252012-10-01T04:00:48.132-04:002012-10-01T04:00:48.132-04:00Thank you Professor.

It is so well written! I just finished Prem Jain's "Buffett Beyond Value," which is another great book but which focuses more on intrinsic value estimation and keeps more general outlook. Your book fills that gap. You succinctly describe the valuation techniques without making it academic. I can only imagine how tough this task must have been!<br /> I hope to write a review on Amazon once I finish the book, but I have already started recommending it to my colleagues, friends, and relatives.
