Session 1 (Val Undergrads): introduction to class

The undergraduate class is officially rolling, and thank you tuning in. During the session, I told you that that this was a class about valuation in all of its many forms – different approaches (intrinsic, relative & contingent claim), different forums (for acquisitions, value enhancement, investing) and across different types of businesses (private & public, small and large, developed & emerging market). After spending some time laying out the script for the class (quizzes, exams, weekly tortures), I laid out the philosophical foundations for valuation, by noting that it is a bridge between story and numbers and that it is different from pricing.
