    Capital Allocation

    Play Episode Listen Later Jul 26, 2022 81:19


    Businesses have to do 2 things well: (1) Raise cash opportunistically, and (2) Deploy that cash intelligently. Raising cash can be done via issuing either debt or equity. A third option is to increase “float” — get customers to pre-pay for their orders, negotiate better payment terms with suppliers, etc. Each has its pros and cons. Managers have to choose wisely. Once cash is raised (or generated via business operations), it can be used in a number of ways. It can just be piled up on the Balance Sheet waiting for an opportunity to come along. Or it can be invested into new/ongoing business initiatives and projects. Or to make acquisitions. Or to pay down debt. Or to reward shareholders with dividends or buybacks. Again, managers have to choose wisely. All these decisions fall under the broad umbrella of “capital allocation”. In this episode, we'll go over the fundamentals — ie, how business managers should approach these decisions. We'll also discuss how we as investors can tell whether our portfolio companies' managers are making these decisions intelligently. Disclaimer: None of this is investment advice.

I think we need to know: - A bit of economics: the fundamentals of micro and macro economics: how economic incentives and constraints shape human behavior, the history of capitalism and its enormous power to create wealth for business owners, etc. - A bit about how businesses work: how they compound capital and generate returns for their owners, the magic of retained earnings, etc. - A bit about accounting and financial statements: how to read and interpret them, how to use them to distinguish wonderful businesses from so-so ones, how to read 10-Ks and 10-Qs, etc. - A bit of financial modeling: the basic math behind predicting and evaluating financial time-series, cash flows, IRRs, inflation adjustments, etc. - A bit of probability and decision making under uncertainty: the logic behind diversification and portfolio construction, intelligent re-balancing, the pitfalls of averages and expectations, the math of survival (Lindys vs Turkeys), statistical significance, distinguishing luck from skill, the fundamentals of intelligent risk management, etc. - And finally, a bit about our own psychology: common biases we tend to harbor, slow thinking vs fast thinking, survivorship bias, how fear and greed and envy shape our behavior in markets, etc. In this episode, we'll go over this “curriculum” — the various topics in it and how investors can efficiently learn these topics and put them to practical use.

    Stock Based Compensation, Dilution, And Buybacks

    Play Episode Listen Later Jun 27, 2022 63:03


    In many modern companies, Stock Based Compensation (SBC) takes a bite out of earnings reported on the Income Statement. But since SBC is added back to earnings on the Cash Flow Statement, it has less of an effect on operating cash flow and free cash flow. Also complicating the issue are the different *kinds* of SBC and the rules to account for each: RSUs, options, performance related stock awards, vesting schedules, etc. And to top it off, many companies spend a lot of cash each year to buy back and retire their own shares — while at the same time issuing fresh shares to executives as SBC. So, to what extent is SBC a “real” cost to investors? How should we think about modeling SBC and predicting its impact on our long term returns? How do we examine the relationship between buybacks and SBC? In this episode, we'll explore some of these questions. DISCLAIMER: None of this is investment advice.

    Don't Turn Short Term Volatility Into Long Term Risk!

    We live in uncertain and volatile times. Throughout history, stock markets have bounced around a lot. They go up and down sharply — day to day, week to week, month to month, year to year. Such volatility is a *feature* of stock markets, and it's mostly outside our control. And yet — despite all this volatility — over long periods of time, the US stock market has been a tremendous engine for wealth creation. As investors, we should do our best to harness this wonderful wealth creation potential of stock markets — while at the same time not letting ourselves get affected too badly by day to day volatility. This is only possible if we position our portfolios for *survival*. That is, we should be able to comfortably survive “short term” volatility long enough to build “long term” wealth. Unfortunately, too many investors turn short term *volatility* into long term *risk*. That is, they make mistakes that cause them to lose their capital *permanently* during periods of volatility. What are some of these mistakes, and how can we avoid them? That's the subject of this episode. Disclaimer: None of this is investment advice.

    Q: What do long term shareholders of a business ultimately care about? A: They care about how much cash they can take out of the business over time. But this may not be accurately reflected in the “Net Income” line at the bottom of the business's Income Statement. In this episode, we'll discuss 2 concepts that possibly reflect a business's economic reality better than Net Income: Owner Earnings and Free Cash Flow. Understanding these concepts can give investors powerful insights into a business's economic characteristics.

    Many of us are worried about inflation. We see prices rising all around us. We're wondering if our incomes can keep up. To add to our worries, the US stock market isn't doing too well at the moment. The S&P 500 almost crossed over into bear market territory (20% down from its high) this week. So, while our savings are losing their purchasing power (due to inflation), our investments seem to be losing value *even faster*. Against this backdrop, what are some strategies we can adopt to safeguard ourselves financially? For most of us, the path to financial independence consists of earning consistently, saving diligently, and investing these savings intelligently. When inflation is high, all 3 become difficult. In this episode, we'll discuss some strategies we can use to position ourselves and our portfolios to weather high inflation. Disclaimer: NONE of this is investment advice.

    Warren Buffett likes to say that he's a better investor because he's a business operator, and a better operator because he's an investor. In other words, operating businesses and investing in them are complementary skill-sets that reinforce each other. In this episode, Ali Ladha (@AliTheCFO on Twitter) joins us to discuss these complementary skills. We'll talk about why it's important for both operators and investors to deeply understand: - How businesses work, - How money flows in and out of businesses, - The fundamental principles of accounting, - Things that good business operators worry about: inventory management and turnover, supply chain efficiency vs fragility, the timing of cash flows, etc. - Things that good investors worry about: return on invested capital, earnings vs cash flows, payables vs receivables, management compensation and incentives, etc. We also discuss a cohort based course that Ali and I are creating — to help both investors and operators improve their decision making skills by understanding each others' perspectives on these topics.

He not only understands the concepts really well; he also knows how best to teach them, what examples are most effective in getting the point across, what common mis-conceptions and mis-understandings people usually have about probability, etc. Henk has written many books on probability. My favorite is “Surprises In Probability” — which explains some of the most counter-intuitive things about the subject that trip people up. Steven (the son) did not have much formal training in probability. But he managed to figure out for himself the key concepts.

    The Devil's Card Game

    In this episode, we'll analyze a card-counting game called The Devil's Card Game. This exercise can teach us many key concepts related to economics, investor and market psychology, and probability. The game goes like this: suppose we have 11 cards in front of us: 10 “double” cards and 1 “devil” card. The “double” cards all have a 2 written on them. The “devil” card has 1/2048 written on it. The cards are thoroughly shuffled, and we get to pick them one by one. So, we know all the cards in the deck, but we don't know which *order* we'll get them in. All possible orders are equally likely. And there's no “replacement”; once we pick a card, it's put aside, NOT returned back to the deck. So, each time we draw a “double”, the odds of the next card also being a “double” could go down. We start with $1M. Each time we pick a card, our money gets multiplied by the number written on the card. So, if we get a “double” card, our money doubles. And if we get the “devil” card, our money gets divided by 2048. At any time, we're free to stop picking cards and walk away with whatever money we have. What should our strategy be for playing this game? When should we walk away? Some questions to ponder: 1) Does it matter whether the initial $1M is our own hard earned money or “house” money? 2) Would our strategy for playing the game change if the initial sum were $1 instead of $1M? 3) If our sole objective were to maximize the *expected value* of the money we walk away with, what strategy would we play? 4) If we were to play this game in real life, would we adopt “expectation maximization” as our strategy? 5) How does the game look from the standpoint of our counter-party? Is it more favorable to them or us — assuming the initial $1M comes from us? 6) How do we expect most market participants to play this game? Would they use a strategy different from ours? 7) Extending the game: What if we could decide *how much* to bet on each card just before drawing it? In this case, only the portion of money that we bet is multiplied by the card we draw. Any “un-bet” money stays intact. Some key concepts we can learn from this exercise: 1) The “House Money” effect, 2) “Prospect Theory” and Loss Aversion, 3) The Marginal Utility of money, 4) Expectation Maximization, 5) Expected Utility Maximization, 6) Kelly Style Betting, 7) Markowitz Style Betting, 8) The fundamentals of Card Counting, etc. Download the Callin app for iOS and Android to listen to this podcast live, call in, and more!
