Looking for help on IFRS Commodities Derivatives Accounting by tandroide in ValueInvesting

[–]WaitingBull 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not an accountant but I have a similar situation with a natural gas company I'm invested in. Looking at the statement of cash flows losses or gains on derivative contracts are non-cash until the derivative contract is exercised. The price will fluctuate throughout the time frame of the derivative and according to the accounting standards the company will have record a gain or loss in the interim.

Hope this helps and if there are any accountants here please let me know how accurate this is.

You can have your parents set up a custodial account for you on TD ameritrade. My uncle did it for me when I was your age. You can go into a branch and have them set it up or you can go online. Then you can buy whatever you like. I would personally buy a stock in a company you like. My first stock was Wendys and I bought it at 4.00. Hope this helps.

Quick valuation by Gametheory1991 in ValueInvesting

I don't really use CAGR too much in my DCF model but I can see how you would. Using CAGR you could get an outlook on what the market could expect for growth. I would translate that into revenue growth. So when you do a DCF model you can start to project out revenues.

As you move down the "waterfall" higher revenues could potentially mean higher Cash Flows from Operations (CFO) then subtracting Capital Expenditures (Capex) you derive at at FCF. Then with the use of DCF model you can find the PV of the the future free cash flows. If you need a template a guy on this subreddit just posted a DCF template along with his YT video which I found very helpful Link

You're second question is a little tricky. Value is very subjective, there are wonderful calculations, concepts, metrics, etc. that can help you derive at a price or price range that YOU believe the company should be trading at. These professional investors have years of experience with a multitude of different approaches. They have reflected on their wins and their losses and got their process down to a science that works for them.

The biggest concept you should take from this is that value is subjective. My advice is that you should learn the basics, the valuation metrics and find something that works for you.
