Sorry, dass ich zu dem Thema effiziente Märkte eine dezidierte Meinung habe und diese auch nicht ändere.
Zum Thema Buffett und DCF habe ich vermutlich wirklich etwas falsch verstanden oder zumindest falsch formuliert.
Unten ist ein Zitat, das ausdrückt, was Buffett wohl meinte und ich zumindest falsch wiedergegeben habe (fett gedruckt): Er schätzt den intrinsischen Wert im Kopf ab. Was in der Tat nicht heißt, dass er nicht eine (vereinfachte) Form von DCF durchführt. Der Rest des Zitats ist Buffett/Munger-Folklore.
Schönen Tag, es wird Zeit, dass ich mich mal für ein paar Tage/Wochen aus dem Forum verabschiede.
-------------------ZITATBEGINN-----------------------
We dont formally have discount rates. Every time we start talking about this, Charlie reminds me that Ive never prepared a spreadsheet, but I do in my mind.
We just try to buy things that well earn more from than a government bond the question is, how much higher? If government bonds are at 2%, were not going to buy a business that will return 4%.
I dont call Charlie every day and ask him, Whats our hurdle rate? Weve never used the term.
Munger: The concept of a hurdle rate makes nothing but sense, but a lot of people using this make terrible errors. I dont think theres any substitute for thinking about a whole lot of investment options and thinking about the returns from each.
The trouble isnt that we dont have one [a hurdle rate] we sort of do but it interferes with logical comparison. If I know I have something that yields 8% for sure, and something else came along at 7%, Id reject it instantly. Its like the mail-order-bride firm offering a bride who has AIDS I dont need to waste a moment considering it. Everything is a function of opportunity cost.
Buffett: Ive been on 19 boards and seen a zillion presentations projecting a certain IRR [internal rate of return]. If the boards had burned them all, theyd have been better off. The IRR is based on what the CEO wants. The numbers are made up.
Munger: I have a young friend who sells private partnership interests to investors, and its hard to get returns in that field. I asked him, What returns do you tell them you can get? He said 20%. I said, How did you come up with that number? He said, If I told them anything lower, they wouldnt give me the money.
Buffett: Theres no one in the world who can earn 20% on big money. Its amazing how gullible pension funds and other investors are. They want it so badly that theyll believe even total nonsense.
