  • Value Investing” Has Had a Rough Go of It in Recent Years
    True Value “Value investing” has had a rough go of it in recent years. In this quarter’s commentary, we would like to share our thoughts about value investing and its future by answering a few questions: 1) What is “value investing”? 2) How has value performed? 3) When will it catch up? In the 1992 Berkshire Hathaway annual letter, Warren Buffett offers a characteristically concise explanation of investment, speculation, and value investing. The letter’s section on this topic is filled with so many terrific nuggets that we include it at the end of this commentary. Directly below are Warren’s most salient points related to value investing. • All investing is value investing. WB: “…we think the very term ‘value investing’ is redundant. What is ‘investing’ if it is not the act of seeking value at least sufficient to justify the amount paid?” • Price speculation is the opposite of value investing. WB: “Consciously paying more for a stock than its calculated value - in the hope that it can soon be sold for a still-higher price - should be labeled speculation (which is neither illegal, immoral nor - in our view - financially fattening).” • Value is defined as the net future cash flows produced by an asset. WB: “In The Theory of Investment Value, written over 50 years ago, John Burr Williams set forth the equation for value, which we condense here: The value of any stock, bond or business today is determined by the cash inflows and outflows - discounted at an appropriate interest rate - that can be expected to occur during the remaining life of the asset.” • The margin-of-safety principle – buying at a low price-to-value – defines the “Graham & Dodd” school of value investing.

  • The Keys to the Co-Branding Agreement As a Marketing Strategy
    Intellectual Property Area THE KEYS TO THE CO-BRANDING AGREEMENT AS A MARKETING STRATEGY Eva Gil Rincón, Lawyer. 12th February 2021 What is co-branding? A co-branding or brand alliance agreement is a marketing agreement whereby two or more companies, usually non-competitors, decide to join forces to support each other and gain market strength by boosting the profitability and value of their brands. Co-branding isa not a statutory contract (“contrato típico”). Its origin is not clear, but many believe that it was born in the 50's1, when the well-known Renault car brand and Van Cleef and Arpels Jewellery Shop joined forces to launch a new car model that incorporated a steering wheel covered in jewellery. Based on this successful alliance, collaboration between brands is a regular feature in the market, whether for a specific sales promotion or to mark out a long-term commercial strategy. What are the benefits of co-branding? On a contractual level, co-branding could be assimilated to a trademark cross-licensing agreement. The commercial objectives of this type of collaboration can be multiple, but the common denominator of all of them is to obtain mutual benefit. In other words, it is a matter of achieving a win-win scenario for all parties. Working and advertising with the support of a co-branding agreement can be a brilliant marketing strategy. Partner companies join forces to gain access to a new audience or new markets through the use and exploitation of their respective brands. As we will see, co-branding is a very recurrent option for large consumer brands, but it can also be especially useful for SMEs or start-ups that need support to make their products known to the public.

  • Product and Pricing Strategies MM – 102
    Product and Pricing Strategies MM – 102 GENERAL OBJECTIVES OF THE SUBJECT At the end of the course, individuals will examine the principles of Product & Pricing and apply them within the companies need critically reflect Marketing behavior within companies and their impact on the development of this course. 9. PRODUCT & PRICING STRATEGIES 9.1 Overview of Products & Pricing 9.2 Product Mix 9.3 Stages of New Product Development 9.4 Package & Label 9.5 Pricing Strategy 9.6 Breakeven Analysis 9.1 Overview of Products & Pricing This lesson deals with the first two components of a marketing mix: product strategy and pricing strategy. Marketers broadly define a product as a bundle of physical, service, and symbolic attributes designed to satisfy consumer wants. Therefore, product strategy involves considerably more than producing a physical good or service. It is a total product concept that includes decisions about package design, brand name, trademarks, warranties, guarantees, product image, and new-product development. The second element of the marketing mix is pricing strategy. Price is the exchange value of a good or service. An item is worth only what someone else is willing to pay for it. In a primitive society, the exchange value may be determined by trading a good for some other commodity. A horse may be worth ten coins; twelve apples may be worth two loaves of bread. More advanced societies use money for exchange. But in either case, the price of a good or service is its exchange value. Pricing strategy deals with the multitude of factors that influence the setting of a price.

  • Investigating Vocabulary in Academic Spoken English
    INVESTIGATING VOCABULARY IN ACADEMIC SPOKEN ENGLISH: CORPORA, TEACHERS, AND LEARNERS BY THI NGOC YEN DANG A thesis submitted to the Victoria University of Wellington in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Applied Linguistics Victoria University of Wellington 2017 Abstract Understanding academic spoken English is challenging for second language (L2) learners at English-medium universities. A lack of vocabulary is a major reason for this difficulty. To help these learners overcome this challenge, it is important to examine the nature of vocabulary in academic spoken English. This thesis presents three linked studies which were conducted to address this need. Study 1 examined the lexical coverage in nine spoken and nine written corpora of four well-known general high-frequency word lists: West’s (1953) General Service List (GSL), Nation’s (2006) BNC2000, Nation’s (2012) BNC/COCA2000, and Brezina and Gablasova’s (2015) New-GSL. Study 2 further compared the BNC/COCA2000 and the New-GSL, which had the highest coverage in Study 1. It involved 25 English first language (L1) teachers, 26 Vietnamese L1 teachers, 27 various L1 teachers, and 275 Vietnamese English as a Foreign Language learners. The teachers completed 10 surveys in which they rated the usefulness of 973 non-overlapping items between the BNC/COCA2000 and the New- GSL for their learners in a five-point Likert scale. The learners took the Vocabulary Levels Test (Nation, 1983, 1990; Schmitt, Schmitt, & Clapham, 2001), and 15 Yes/No tests which measured their knowledge of the 973 words. Study 3 involved compiling two academic spoken corpora, one academic written corpus, and one non-academic spoken corpus.

  • Compensating Market Value Losses: Rethinking the Theory of Damages in a Market Economy
    Florida Law Review Founded 1948 Formerly University of Florida Law Review VOLUME 63 SEPTEMBER 2011 NUMBER 5 COMPENSATING MARKET VALUE LOSSES: RETHINKING THE THEORY OF DAMAGES IN A MARKET ECONOMY Steven L. Schwarcz * Abstract The BP Deepwater Horizon oil spill and the Toyota car recalls have highlighted an important legal anomaly that has been overlooked by scholars: judicial inconsistency and confusion in ruling whether to compensate for the loss in market value of wrongfully affected property. This Article seeks to understand this anomaly and, in the process, to build a stronger foundation for enabling courts to decide when—and in what amounts—to award damages for market value losses. To that end, this Article analyzes the normative rationales for generally awarding damages, adapting those rationales to derive a theory of damages that covers market value losses, not only of financial securities (such as stocks and bonds) but also of ordinary products (such as automobiles and lightbulbs).
