Post body

I'm curious your thoughts on the idea of writing up a series of blog posts or a short book, even, that covers some of the 101 principles of valuing a company.

The idea would be to make it super accessible in terms of readability and can very slowly introduce some of the core concepts for valuation.

This ideas was spurred by some of my own learnings in the last couple of years (even after being obsessed with valuation for many years prior). For example, we know that we need ROIC > WACC to be value accretive, but why is that the case, and how much value does that create?

I made a "Pop Quiz" post a while back, and I think that it showed that this could be a great introduction for beginner and even intermediate investors.

My thought was to start with a very basic lemonade stand example (or maybe a very dumbed down version of SpaceX / Starlink or something) and then just build from there.

A kind of early chapter example might be The Lemonade Example from This Post.

Anyways, curious if that's something that you might be interested in. Or maybe there's something very similar already out there. Or maybe it's a fruitless endeavor in the world of AI. Thoughts?
