Cost for NYU MBA is $126,874 and you are sharing all your knowledge (with the slides included wtf!) for free. I take my hat off to you sir, truly appreciate your selfless sharing. Can feel your passion in teaching:) Add oil!(means keep going in Cantonese)

Professor, September 5th is celebrated as Teacher's Day in India. Happy Teacher's Day sir! Your lectures have been of immense value to all of us! 🙏🙏

Some time ago I bought Your book, it was a great read. I was shocked when I found Your YT channel, this is pure gold. Thank You for Your books and sharing the knowledge via YT. All the best from Poland!

If I started with damodaran I would have saved thousands of hours learning this from horrible professors

I take my hat off too. You give a hope for smart people who cannot afford expensive education

This is wonderfully informative, and the burns of accountants sprinkled throughout make it even more enjoyable.

Hi Sir, I was go through your valuation class first, as I dont know where to start. But from there I came to know the correct order to go through. Accounting Class to corporate finance to statistics and finally valuation. From today I start taking your class sir. Lot of respect and Love from India.

If I could cut a piece of my heart and give it to you, I will. Yes, I am truly indebted for such High Quality Knowledge. These are pretty essential for bootstrapped founders.

Pepped up for a weekend AD binge!! 10xExcited

Thank you sir for the wonderful lectures. I am not from finance background but I am trying to find what is "book value of equity" and "book value of debt" and how they are calculated. Some references will help

Great stuff. Thanks, prof. Done and notes taken on 3 Jan 2023.

Thank you for share your knowledge with us.

accountant's jokes are premium.

Cash flow is the most honest statement. Positive cash flow or negative cash flows

Accounting statement - balance sheet, tells about what a firm owns and owes at a point in time. Income statement- how much business earned in period of analysis, with details of revenue and expenses. Cash flow - cash inflow amd outflows to the firm

Thank you Professor 🙏

Hii sir amazing series and in going through your entire course right now , just wanted to say that the links to a lot of webcasts and support files is not available. Even the notes from this lecture are not accessible. Same with the blog. Please do check and thankyou so much for everything you're doing.

Thank you Sir! Amazing as always :)

Just what I needed Thank you 🙏 🙏🙏

Well presented! Who do you think should be doing the valuations for assets and why?

Great common sense guide to accounting.

speaking of standards as the one measure in order not to re-learn it all with every company -- how do you deal with this non-GAAP accounting and pages over pages in reconciliation attempts in financial statements from the companies in practical terms of using it as a raw material for the valuation of these companies?

Thanks very much, very clear and focused

Nice refresher

Happy teachers day sir...!!! 😍

Thank you sir for the session.

For everyone who is starting the video sessions: it's great but you will need to have some knowledge before you start. If you go watch these 12 videos without knowing much then it will be way too much info and way too fast too (just to prevent people from starting here too early). If you do know about half of it, these videos can add great value though.

thank you professor
