12/28/2005 - Notes from "Little Book"

Little Book that Beats the Market

-Good companies (ROIC) at Good prices (E/EV)
- magicformulainvesting.com

- ROIC ~ EBIT/(WC + Fixed Assets)
- Yield ~ EBIT(Market Cap + Debt)

i.e. 2 companies, both with EBIT = $10. A has no debt, B has $50 debt. Price/share = $30.

Yield A = $10/$30 = 1/3
Yield B = $10/($30 + $50) = $1/8

Company A is "cheaper" even at the same "price" and same "earnings" because Company A did not require debt to achieve this.
