The Relativity Of Risk Assessments In Investment Decisions, Michael Sack Elmaleh

The level of risk in investing in a closely held firm is related to the qualifications of the control managing investor. While there is generally a minimum threshold of expertise and capital that a control investor must possess, beyond this threshold the potential levels of expertise and capital can vary significantly. The level of enterprise risk is inversely related to the level of expertise and capital possessed by the control investor. The more resources and expertise the investor possesses, the less the operational risk. Thus enterprise risk is a relative and not an inherent fixed property of an enterprise. Furthermore, …

The Income Method Of Valuation: A False Analogy Between Bonds And Stocks, Michael Sack Elmaleh

The discounting of future income streams by a risk adjusted rate of return by proponents of the income method reflects a misplaced faith in the ability to project accurately future income streams and pick out the “right” rate of return. Future income streams are fairly reliably predictable when analyzing a debt instrument. However, equity investment future income streams are notoriously unpredictable. Similarly assessing the risk associated with realizing returns from a fixed security is comparatively easy in comparison with assessing the risks associated with equity returns. The widely used Beta has not proved to be a very stable measure of …

Investors in small closely held firms often are oblivious to risk if the rewards are perceived to be sufficiently high. Risk may also be ignored because such investors seek more than just increased cash flow. These investors often seek higher order psychological returns such as job challenge and status.

While the buying and selling of businesses based on formulas may not be the soundest method of pricing a business the more rigorous methods do not always provide the best guidance either. Ideally prospective buyers should have knowledge of both formula methods and the more rigorous approaches.

Competitive Bidding Behavior In Uniform-Price Auction Markets, Peter Cramton
Competitive Bidding Behavior In Uniform-Price Auction Markets, Peter Cramton
Peter Cramton
Profit-maximizing bidding in uniform price auction markets involves bidding above marginal cost. It therefore is not surprising that such behavior is observed in electricity markets. Common bidding behavior such as “hockey stick” bids easily are explained by suppliers determining their supply offers to maximize profits. This incentive to bid above marginal cost is not the result of coordinated action among the bidders. Rather, each bidder is independently selecting its bid to maximize profits based on its estimate of the residual demand curve it faces. Profit-maximizing bidding does not mean that “the sky’s the limit.” Typically, bidders are limited in how …
