[@ThatonedudeCR12956]

Thank you so much for actually explaining this without repeating yourself 5 times and saying the same phrase over and over again just stated differently.

[@BrianFeroldiYT]

Is that something we've done before?

[@Nirvaana23]

Everyone should read McKinsey's Valuation textbook and Value; the four cornerstones of corporate finance. These two books taught me more about business and investing than any other.

[@BrianFeroldiYT]

Both great reads

[@ianleitch5501]

2:16 “if you want the interest RATE to increase, put in more money…” No. The interest RATE would remain the same., but the interest earned would indeed increase.

[@BrianFeroldiYT]

Yup. You are correct.

[@robertweekley5926]

A typo at 4:59 - EBIT earnings before interest in Texas :)

[@robertweekley5926]

EBIT : "Earnings Before Interest (&) Taxes" "In Texas?" WTF? And it's in his graphic too! Looks like he needs his Ears & Eyes Checked! 🧐😲😆😂

[@franciscov799]

I'm a newbie, learning from the best. Muchas gracias

[@BrianFeroldiYT]

Welcome!

[@jordanhughes7966]

Man I love you!! I was second guessing my research paper on this topic for class and this just made me super excited. Your video is appreciated!!!

[@BrianFeroldiYT]

I'm so glad!

[@razvandelibasa3865]

For the sake of simplicity, I get the savings account analogy. In a business though it's not as simple of just putting more money in and you get the same return guaranteed. That's actually THE challenge every business faces: reinvesting capital at high returns over the long run.

[@BrianFeroldiYT]

Yup, you are correct. But the idea here is to get people to understand that businesses, investor, capital and earn a rate of return….that’s not an easy concept to understand.

[@catalinmihaighita6345]

I just use the formula Net Income / (Equity + Debt). I know that it is not "correct", because it will give higher ratios for companies that don't have debt. But I would say it is a good bias.

[@BrianFeroldiYT]

Sure. A decent proxy.

Hey Brian, so ROC is the same matric t like ROIC or is it something diffrent. THANKS

[@MeBee-fl2ow]

ROC doesnt include the depreciation and amortization

[@adriannieswiec1481]

@@MeBee-fl2ow Thank you for the anser.

[@BrianFeroldiYT]

Different. There are many different ways to calculate returns on capital

[@johnnyk7480]

Thanks for the checklist. May I ask what is your opinion on Joel greenblatt ‘magic formula’ of looking and ranking both the ROE and rate of return metrics together to select a company stock. His Gotham fund has yielded a 40% per annum return.

[@BrianFeroldiYT]

I like the idea of his magic formula, but I don’t think it’s as useful as it once was

[@peterfischer7084]

Shouldn't FCF (free cash flow) be the primary metric?

[@BrianFeroldiYT]

Its a good one

[@naveenkumar_]

Amazing …learned a new concept.. thanks

Dear Brian, another question - what means if the long term debt is negative over some period ( 3-4 years)

[@BrianFeroldiYT]

Long-term debt can't be negative.

[@romanromanov3096]

@@BrianFeroldiYT Unum Group Long Term Debt Repaid , its negative, sorry

[@BrianFeroldiYT]

Thanks for the eagle eye!

[@Martin_Gark]

@@BrianFeroldiYT sure! I downloaded the graphic, it’s good! Can you make a playlist out of it, where you discuss each point in the list with buffet resources?

[@rustler160]

How about that ratio EBIT (Earnings before Interest in Texas)? That must be some kind of American thing

[@BrianFeroldiYT]

Sure is

[@JM-gu3tx]

EBIT="earnings before interest in Texas"?

[@BrianFeroldiYT]

:)

[@kr8992]

Great Brian 👍

[@BrianFeroldiYT]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@AegisAutoDetailingAZ]

Why are you subtracting tax from NOPAT If it’s after tax?

[@BrianFeroldiYT]

You are correct - NOPAT is after tax

[@sinnehd]

why banks is much lower return on capital related to other industries?

[@BrianFeroldiYT]

Because their capital base is so much larger. these metrics don’t work as well on banks. The key metric to watch there is return on assets.

[@Walker956]

ebit (earnings before interest in texas? is it suppoed to say texas. idk. only in texas i guess

[@luisrios3446]

Lol. I saw that too. He meant taxes.

[@BrianFeroldiYT]

Yup -- taxes.

[@NoName-xc6cg]

Why does yahoo finance not have these ratios?

Did you really say "1939 letter to shareholders"?

[@Yunggrippacuz]

Earnings growth overrated, no wonder he holds apple.

[@russellneal5264]

Uh Apple has had between 20% and 51% Return on Capital Employed for the last 10 years. That is among the best in the world... They are averaging 7% revenue growth and 15% EPS growth over that same time period. 7% revenue growth for a 3 Trillion dollar company is amazing. Most big companies only grow at the speed of GDP growth (2-3% per year).
