Corporate Valuation Modeling Book

Hi everyone,

Some of you have taken an Enstruct course, but I thought I would announce that the first course is finally in book format and available from Wiley (for some reason they took forever to get it to print!):

Hi Keith,
Thank you for your answer. I am working on extending the model to 10 years projection and 3 years history. I found that a lot of work is involved, you can not simple extend the columns because the functionality of the model is tied to the 5 years ahead and one year back assumption. I will greatly appreciate your help on how best to do it. Best regards

Hi Keith,
I am posting again my previous comment, in case it did not reached you:
"Hi Keith, I just receive your book from Amazon and I spent Sunday browsing the model. Do you have an example with more than 5 years projected and more than one year in history? Best regards, Carlos González Campo (Guatemala)"
Regards

Hi Keith,

Forgive my delayed response. I have not had a chance to check back for a reply due to a hectic week.

Thank you for writing the book! I have been calling people who work in the field for 2 months in an attempt to learn, but I am invariably met with the same answer: I use Bloomberg.

Your book has already enhanced my comfort zone and I know working through this model will help me in some upcoming interviews (MBA 2010). I wish there were more books like yours. I ordered 8 different books to learn this. I returned them all when yours arrived.

I found a current Toyota ABS issue and I am working through it now. At this point, I do not have a full grasp. There are data points I am finding in the prospectus that I do not quite know how to transfer to the model. I also have some concerns regarding transferring the delinquency rates (which are broken down into 5 time frames) into the model.

I would love to send you some questions. It is likely my questions are elementary, as this is my first foray into structured finance modeling. I have a BS in Management Science/Econ and have done quite a bit of Excel modeling in both undergrad and grad, but nothing in this area.

Would you be open to an email dialogue? I think I could put my assumptions (data point-where inputted) in a table, so that it would be easy for you to review quickly. If so, is this the best way to converse with you?

My email is michele.prisko@gmail.com

Thanks so much for your consideration, Keith. And again, kudos on the great publication, which I have already recommended to 2 professors and several classmates.

Hi Keith, I just purchased your structured finance book. In order to learn the material in a practical way, and I would like to use your model to analyze a current ABS issue. Can you advise as to where I would find an ABS issue to analyze? I have some other questions, but they may be more appropriate for an email dialogue. Thanks for your feedback, Keith.
