Chapter 10
Valuing Your Company

Now youre ready to start buying stocks. Congratulations. Its a fascinating, stimulating, andhopefullyenriching step.

To start this chapter, lets head straight to the dictionary for a refresher in the meaning of the word investing. OK, maybe you dont want to get up, jog into the den, and lug that fun-filled volume off the shelf, so well look it up for you, courtesy of Merriam-Webster: To commit money or capital, it reads, in order to gain a financial return.

Read the second part of that sentence again: in order to gain a financial return. You invest, in other words, by committing money or capital with the expectation that someone, someday, will buy whatever asset you purchased for more than you paid for it.
