Your model projects the price of Nvidia will rise to $30,173. How does it arrive at that?

Hi this is from a comment below on this "Hey, the model starts with the previous years growth numbers projected out 5 years. You are meant to give your assumptions to get to a valuation. NVDA revenue grew 125% last year so projecting that out for 5 straight years results in a very high value but is most likely inaccurate!" I should probably take nvda off the home page lol

Only Nvidia? These predictions are maybe misleading? And might present bad information to unaware users?

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.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

HFT isn't primarily about fundamental valuation.

Rentec also doesn't do HFT

You're right.

AIUI Rentec holds positions for minutes or days (or maybe even weeks?), not seconds or less.

My general point still stands.

Why? Anyone who invests based on such obviously wrong numbers shouldn’t be protected from themselves.

The concern isn't that they would invest bed on obviously wrong numbers. The concern is that someone invests based on believable numbers that are incorrect. There's no information on accuracy measures or verification. Offering this model to others could be an SEC/FINRA violation.

https://www.useequityval.com/model?ticker=CRSP Current Price: $56.22 Projected Price: $20,806,772,549,824,028.00 Difference: 37,009,556,296,378,460% Glad I'm long.

It's about as reliable as I thought.

If it was even remotely reliable, this would be a billion dollar idea (at least) treated as a secret sauce in an investment company.

Instead, it takes some input, throws some garbage output, but as it's not blatantly just random numbers, people think it's helpful for investing.

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-calculated stock value, and pre-populates all of the other necessary data and formulas in a slick UI, which is pretty cool.

The models that make the big bucks are the ones that ingest a ton of other external data to predict the numbers that go in the data entry cells here. And yeah, those don’t get posted online for free.
