Aswath Damodaran on Sugar Daddies, The Magnificent Seven & The Art of Selling Stocks | #558

Nov 15, 2024 • 59 mins

Today’s returning guest is Aswath Damodaran, a professor at NYU, where he teaches corporate finance and equity valuation. In today’s episode, Professor Damodaran delves into the intricacies of investing and the lifecycle of companies. He also covers the challenges of valuation in a changing economy, the trend of buybacks versus dividends, and the evolving role of AI in finance. Be sure to stick around to hear him critique ESG investing and share insights on the broken media landscape.

Key Points

  • Investors should never dismiss stocks as perpetually overvalued since even high-profile companies can present buying opportunities during market downturns.
  • Successful investing requires not only identifying the right time to buy but also developing a disciplined strategy for when to sell, balancing between holding onto winners and cutting losses.
  • The US stands out in encouraging startups and entrepreneurship due to a conducive environment that allows young companies to grow and thrive, unlike many other regions where mature, established companies dominate the market.
