Hi Everyone,
How are we all travelling so far this term?
I am trying to stay on top of everything, a bit like Jenga in regard to finding my pattern again. I did not realize how time poor I was, but I do like to keep myself busy.
Just going to jump straight into the KCQs for Step 6:
· When will market dynamics and ideas companies pursue enhance the operations within said capital markets? Is this change derived solely from the ability of the market to evolve and progress?
· What objectives will allow us to maintain performance of today’s financial system and the companies that form its basis?
· So how do we as investors of our society today find confidence within these markets to make informed decisions in the context of satisfied participation?
· It is just simply expectations that underpin our imaging of what we might think will occur capital markets or is there more to predicting the future?
· Is the past the only other factor we should consider when forming our expectations of future performance?
· What do we do as investors if the past history of a firm is unclear or uncertain, do we still take the risk of making the investment or do we pass a potential opportunity over as it is simpler easier than losing it all on one “bet”?
· Is there more than just a financial statement to indicate past performance? Should we be going beyond these statements or even seeking opinions from other investors?
· How can a company place most of its focus on operating activities when we would assume that without financial activities and investment these ideas would cease to exist?
· Are companies rely just relying on the investor to believe in there operating rhythm and place their own beliefs into these companies through buying shares?
· How and when do firms decide how much cash to place aside as a financial asset and who makes such a hefty decision to do so? Why is it only 0.5% to 1% of sales, as depending on the sales figure this amount could dramatically vary from business to business?
· How do companies like Ryman healthcare manage the levels of operating assets they have as nine billion is certainly a big value? Can some of these items get lost in financial reporting? Are they always recorded at a true value of is it simply an estimate?
· What is the best operating spread that will provide companies an optimum leverage for equity investor gain? Is it really just the higher the better or is there more to it?
Feel free to read my draft for step 6 and provide me with any feedback or comments you have. I do appreciate any comments I have received so far.
Hope you all have aa great week! I have just started restating my statements, so you know what I will be up to for the rest of it :)
