Links of the week: Short MANU, Black Swans, Damodaran Valuation Class

  1. Shorting Manchester United (MANU): Good write-up of reasons and risks in shorting MANU, in my opinion a good shorting target. High CapEx, combined with limited growth opportunities, bad track record of listed football clubs. However Soros Fund desclosed a stake in MANU after IPO, what makes me wonder.
  2. Latest Oaktree Memo: On Uncertain Ground: 15 page memo on the sluggish recovery, longer term economic outlook and problems, black swans. Best to download as pdf-file.
  3. The US fall semester started recently. Prof. Aswath Damodaran started his online valuation class again. There are different ways to follow him, via special learning platform Lore, Youtube, iTunes or his School website. I am taking his class too and its a pleasure to follow and learn. Currently we are in the 3rd lessons, so its still easy to begin and catch up! Contents will cover intrinsic (DCF)/relative/option valuation.
