Lmao buddy. You think I have gotten 50+ friends to comment on this? You must be special. Some people are nice and enjoy their life, you clearly don’t. Also please point out the SEC violations. I am not telling anyone to buy or sell a stock. Please use some brain cells before your next comment.

Responding with personal attacks is not a good look, especially when you're using slurs (as 'special' is, when used in this context).

It doesn't matter how bad or inapplicable the criticism is. If you do this, they've brought you down to their level, and regardless of who wins the resulting argument, you've lost.

It's predicting a contraction in value of 20% to 70% of every stock I throw at it. 40k DIJA is a more-than-inflationary bubble popping within a few years? Edit: Chipotle must be headed for E. Coli again: Projected Price: $-2,890.64 https://www.useequityval.com/model?ticker=CMG

I mean all USA debt delinquencies are currently between the same levels as Q1 and Q2 of 2008... foreclosures aren't near as high, but they are trending up quickly.

Where did you find this? None of the data in https://fred.stlouisfed.org/categories/32440 confirms this other than the small bank credit card delinquencies.

> these types of models This is THE way fundamental analysis is done. There are many ways to model - but this is the most robust as you have the most inputs.

I’m not sure why you’re being downvoted, because it’s true. Maybe people just have no idea how “fundamental analysis” works or even what it means? This is how it works. That doesn’t mean you’re going to beat the market, or even make a positive return. But it’s essentially the basic fundamental analysis model.

Dunno why the down votes either. I guess people prefer to punt and make gut feel investment decisions rather than empirical modeling.

I’m consistently surprised at the lack of basic financial literacy in the HN crowd. The title says this is a tool to create financial models , not that it is a well-tuned financial model. Yeah, you have to make better assumptions than straight-line extrapolation from last year’s trend to arrive at reasonable valuations. The point is that this shows you what assumptions you have to make to arrive at a rationally-calcu…

Please don't sneer, including at the rest of the community. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

Sorry, realized it was an overly haughty comment pretty soon after posting.

Yes - it is well known there is no "secret investing sauce" - this has been proven over and over. The only people who tell you otherwise are people with something to sell you, or people who have tricked themselves into believing otherwise. This kind of stuff pops up whenever the market is on a tear.

The secret sauce is simple: low cost ETFs that track the S&P 500 index. Regular, automatic investments. Go to sleep. Wake up 30/40/50 years later. You will be rich. Warren Buffet supports this idea for retail investors.

> Warren Buffet supports this idea for retail investors.

Everything that Buffet says falls into one of two categories: [1] He has no relevant knowledge. [2] He/Berkshire makes money from it.

[2] Is the most common. (His railways transport oil. His insurance companies make money from the inheritance tax, a tax that his estate won't pay. Etc.)
