Things have gotten a bit nuts in the market in recent months.

From huge thousands of points swings up and down.

To mass unemployment worldwide.

To horrific economic data.

The coronavirus is wreaking havoc on the world.

In the last couple of weeks, I told you how Hertz Car Rental Company filed for bankruptcy, why their stock was “worthless” according to its own filings, how they planned to sell stock in a disgusting way, and then how the SEC stopped the sale of new stock.

Then I told you why you need to beware of the massive gambling going on in the stock market.

Over the last several weeks I’ve shown you many things to avoid the craziness in the market right now.

Today I want to tell you about the first time I ever learned a valuation technique.
