Prof. Lo knows his stuff but as an MIT instructor that is implied. I'm just a retired old wrench twister who is trying to nibble at the education I wish I had acquired many years ago and I'm grateful for the prominent universities for making some of that possible through this platform. Prof. Lo does a remarkable job of explaining the evaluation of markets and how decisions are primarily based on those valuations which is more or less a fancy way of saying follow the money. My one hope as one who has observed what the capital markets have given us over the ages, both good and not so good, is that he can contribute to sending out the leaders and decision makers of tomorrow who will be making those financial decisions, with an instinct to take in more than simply the p/l statement and consider the other consequences of those decisions. People overlooked Arrhenius over a century ago and it's our grandchildren who will inherit those consequences. Thanks again.

This lecture is a time capsule. So interesting to have this level of conversation before Lehman Bros collapsed and to hear about the dead cat bounce when the fed backed Fannie Mae / Freddie Mac. When he describes the forest fire with hidden gas tanks exploding, he exactly predicted how it would unfold in the following year.

Yes, firewall in forest is to keep the wild fire away from extensively engulfing the entire mountain range; on the other hands, applying this theory in financing world is kind vague without an intact "fire wall" to let those "forest" inside the ring to burn off and to keep the rest safe. That's a really interesting Zen to applying in the finance world that I never thought about using firewall theory at all. Excellent idea. But who needs to be blame?

It seems we sometimes get mixed up and try to use economic tools to solve political problems and vice-versa. Agreed, it is not as simple as letting big institutions and countries fail, because someone else, who may be politically motivated, will step in to bail out if you do not.

To students who are confused why PV for perpetually growing cash flow formula doesn't work when r < g When r < g, the terms get bigger and bigger as we move ahead in the series, therfore the infinite series is divergent meaning it does not add to a finite value... While in r > g case, as we move ahead in series the terms get smaller and smaller so it adds to a finite value, hence it's a convergent series.

Thank you Mr. Lo, I have known the perpetuity and other before, but I never got a clear explanation as what you do.
That is a stupid question: the type of currency would not have an affect on the NPV. All future cash flows are based of of the initial investment. Unless you changed currency type in the middle of the analysis which would also be a mistake. Even as the professor explained that if there was a deprecation/appreciation of the currency - it may influence the NPV. This is also not true because NPV is relative to the discount rate at the time of analysis and currency rate is taken into consideration upon selecting the appropriate discount rate.

Remember that we're using convenient abstractions, fictions which only model the real world to a certain degree. But yes, assuming that interest rates are always fixed, and that there is at least one market in existence (meaning that at all times there exists at least one agent willing to borrow money at that market's interest rate), then the price of any asset can be no higher than the future cash flows as discounted by the lowest interest rate that exists. This follows from our axioms - again, useful approximations - that presume (1) perfectly frictionless (free and instant) exchanges, (2) the rationality of economic actors, who would never pay more than the lowest price available.

Watch the first lecture. This is it's "real" value. It's monetary value is how much participants are willing to pay for it. If you are talking about intrinsic value you are in the realm of ontology and its somewhat subjective. You also need to think about what you mean by "real". Can some things be more "real" than others. Our society reflects an object's value via the scale of money through the consensus of the market. That scale can be inflated of deflated i.e 1USD measures less than it did 50 years ago but this is due to the amount of goods vs money in circulation. Basically money actually is our attempt to quantify "real"value.
@jaywinters55068 жыл бұрын
Also interest rate comes from the fact that in lending money (value) or investing the value the participant lending/investing it could be earning money by using this value elsewhere and takes a risk by parting with it and so needs incentive. Also as a borrower/investee, getting value now to payback later itself has value and is reflected in the interest rate, i.e the time value of money. This is still its "real" value, it's simply taking the complexities of the market into account.
