Now that September 2026 is one…

Information Timing and Release: The Gaming of Guidance!

I am a lapsed academic, insofar as I have not submitted a paper for publication in more than two decades, but to acquire academic status, I did have to earn a PhD in the distant past. My doctoral dissertation, which like most doctoral theses is little noted and long forgotten, was completed in 1984 and focused on how the frequency of and delays in the release of information plays out in stock…

Paramount's general counsel Makan Delrahim says opposition to the Paramount-Warner merger is driven by anti-semitism. He really believes that. These people are total lunatics.

To a Trillion(s) Dollars and beyond: A SpaceX IPO Odyssey!

In 2001, A Space Odyssey, a movie that was well ahead of its time when it was released in 1968, Hal (the computer) famously responded to questions about his reliability with “it (mstakes) can only be attributable to human error”. I was reminded of my fallibility repeatedly as I tried to value SpaceX ahead of its initial public offering, a market debut that is shaping up as a barn-burner for…

In this post, I turn my attention to divergences in risk across companies, looking at alternative measures of risk, some based on prices and others at earnings, and how these differences play out in hurdle rates, a necessary ingredient for businesses trying to determine whether and…
