...or Make Your Own Non-Consensus Decision
| | However, we believe that there is a better way to make stock selection decisions, and this Wiki is dedicated to this technique. The better way – which is taught to all MBA students, and used by professional investors – is not easy. But it is one of the few investment techniques that actually does work. The better way requires you to find errors in the consensus forecasts of revenue and EPS. Until the creation of this Wiki, it has been virtually impossible for an individual investor to develop accurate non consensus revenue and earnings forecasts because no one individual has had enough information to accurately out-forecast the Wall Street analysts.
However, by using the Wiki to pool together the collaborative intelligence of large numbers of individuals who are familiar with the FINANCE-SBIC and COMMRCL Industry, with NGP CAP RSRCS, and with its suppliers and customers, we as a group do have a realistic chance of finding that nugget of accurate non-consensus information.
Warren Buffett finds these nuggets. This Wiki can help you find your own nuggets.
But this process can only work for those companies and industries with which you are very familiar. To apply this process to NGP CAP RSRCS, you need to focus on 2 questions:- Do I agree with the consensus estimate of the future revenue of NGP CAP RSRCS?
- Do I agree with the consensus estimates of the EPS of NGP CAP RSRCS?

Dividend Discount Model for NGP CAP RSRCS

More information about these valuation-related topics is available here. This reference answers most of the questions investors have when they first encounter these discount approaches to determining value, such as: - What is the discount rate?
- Why does the DDM discount earnings and not dividends?
- How can I use a DDM if the company does not pay dividends?
- How do I set the terminal value? (applies only to DCF)
- How do I calculate cash flow to use the DCF model?
