Thoughts on being an athletic trainer? School? Jobs? Scope of practice and limitations?

For those who are an AT, what was your experience like getting to where you are now? What can a Master's in AT get you in terms of jobs?

Very recently, I started a new job working as a PT Aide just to get my foot into the door of physical therapy. But based on what I see in the office, I now realize how much I enjoy working with athletes *just a tad more* than with the general population.

I have three options: I can apply for PT or PTA school; go for an MS in AT; or go for the CSCS and save myself some money. I have a BFA in Dance; in the past I have been to PTs who helped me with my injuries but didn't quite understand dance technique, and based on those experiences, I know that the dance community is in dire need of trainers and PTs who do.

Security Analysis: Chapter I: The Scope and Limitations of Security Analysis. The Concept of Intrinsic Value

Hello All,

As mentioned in my introduction post, I will begin a recapitulation of the famed book, Security Analysis, written in a manner which is understandable by anyone. Once again, this is a weekly series I have begun to write to help educate people wishing to have a foray into the field of investing. My hope is that you can use this as an annotative guide, meant to clarify the concepts in the book which may be slightly out of reach due to how dense the book is.

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________

The first sentence of this book is important because it outlines the general character of the rest of the text. Written, it says, "Analysis connotes the careful study of available facts with the attempt to draw conclusions therefrom based on established principles and sound logic." The authors make this statement in the context of the field of investing. Although investing is by nature, not an exact science, they justify the use of analysis in the field of investing by making comparisons to Law and Medicine, where both individual skill (art) and chance are important factors in determining success or failure. Therefore, their conclusion is that entering the investment profession with the tools of analysis is certainly better than jumping blindly into the field and relying solely on luck.

An important example is given in the form of an aside, where the authors state that the experiences of 1927-1933 (the events leading up to the Great Depression) were "so extraordinary a character" that they do not provide useful applied examples for implementing the tools of analysis. It is my opinion that by this example, they are cautioning the readers to beware of circumstances which have never been seen in the market before, and more specifically, events such as as large asset bubbles, wherein everything on the market is overvalued in the sense that prices of securities offered (i.e. stocks and bonds) deviate largely from their intrinsic value.

Security Analysis: Chapter I: The Scope and Limitations of Security Analysis. The Concept of Intrinsic Value Pt. 2: The Examples

As I mentioned in my first post, I have written part 2 of chapter one to include an explanation of the sordid examples within Security Analysis which seem to trip up the average reader. My hope is that you will be able to use this and related chapters of this series as a guide through the dense behemoth which Graham and Dodd presented to the world. The following dissection is provided to clarify exactly what they are talking about so that you can reference it when learning the tools of security analysis. So without further adieu, let us traverse the murky waters of the field of investment analysis:

Examples of Analytical Judgements

This section seems somewhat inaccessible, however it was presumably written in clear language at the time of its publication. The following examples are numbered for convenience and broken down in today's terms.

Example 1: Preferred Stock

In 1928 the St. Louis-San Francisco railway company offered preferred stock at $100 with a dividend worth 6% of its value. As the authors pointed out, this offering was somewhat sketchy because at no point in the company's history had earnings equaled a total of 1.5 times (somewhat arbitrary, the point is the company had no way of paying off the dividends) the total cost of dividends upon issuance of the preferred stock. Here, analysis would have clearly led the investor to reject the purchase.

Example 2: Corporate Bonds

In 1932, Owens-Illinois Glass Company offered bonds with 5% interest due in 1939, with a maturity price of $70 and 11% interest at yield to maturity. Here, the capable analyst could have determined that the company's earnings were many times the interest requirements (i.e. they had more than enough money to pay off the interest on their debt) both in average times and during the Great Depression. Since the debt that the company issued could clearly be paid off based on the assets the company hold and their earnings, analysis would have led the investor to accept the purchase.

Example 3:

Common Stock-Undervalued

In 1922, Wright Aeronautical Corporation common stock was selling on the NYSE at $8/share and paying a $1 dividend. Since its EPS equal to $2/share, and its balance sheet showed over $8/share in cash, analysis would have led the investor to accept the purchase.

a. Inadequate or Incorrect Data. Fairly self-explanatory. If you have bad data, your success is hindered. Data can be falsified despite the increasing calls for regulation, something as true back then as it is in 2021. Be skeptical of everything presented to you by either a company or a historical record. Sometimes concealment is inevitable, and in these cases, an incorrect judgement can be made.

b. Uncertainties of the Future. Even if your analysis is correct, the future brings with it a quantifiable measure of uncertainty which can dilute the efficacy of your initial analysis. Keep this in mind as you are on your investment journey.

c. The Irrational Behavior of the Market. Ah, the old adage we all know and hate. The market can stay irrational longer than you can remain solvent. The authors mention that you can combat this by purchasing liquid securities and also by positioning yourself to be able to stay patient for long periods of time, if necessary.

The Hazard of Tardy Adjustment of Price Value:

Over the course of a period of time that you are holding a security with the intention that the price will reflect the intrinsic value you have determined, you MUST be weary of the fact that a catalyst could suddenly occur which completely changes the intrinsic value of the security, for better or for worse. The analyst can protect themselves by finding situations which are not subject to sudden change by favoring securities where the popular interest promises a swift response to changes in value. This can be accomplished by finding undervalued securities under normal market conditions (our current market would not be considered normal by the author's standards), and by staying cautious in times of abnormal stress and uncertainty.

The Relationship of Intrinsic Value to Market Price:

Note here, an investment has both speculative and investment properties. The speculative side is more prone to needing critical judgements by the analyst to determine properly. Any one of these factors can have an overwhelming effect on the market price and can supersede the other factors listed.

Here, we are given both a useful chart and an acute analogy. The

The only difference between what we consider an ordinary, every day awareness and the enlightened awareness is it's scope. The ordinary, every day human awareness is limited. The awareness that is an enlightened one has no limitations.

How do I experience it directly? The nature of universe?

Someone asked me this question the other day. This is the answer I gave:

Haven’t you asked me this question before? I think you did, and I’m sure I did not give you an answer that satisfied you then, and I can’t give you an answer that will satisfy you now. Here is why:

What you are trying to do is to understand. If you can’t understand the reality directly, then you want directions on how to experience directly - directions that you can understand. You want an answer that makes sense.

In order for the answer to be sensible, reasonable, understandable, this answer has to relate to reality as you know it. It has to fit in with your ideas about how reality works, how life works, how you work. This answer has to refer to actions that you are familiar with, it has to refer to experiences that you are familiar with, or actions and experiences that are comparable with what you are familiar with.

I can’t give you such an answer. Inside of a reality as you know it, inside of life as you know it, there is nothing that can be done to experience the universe directly. Inside of a reality that your mind is familiar with, experiencing the universe directly is as possible as growing a horn out of your forehead and sprouting a pair of wings. It can’t be done. It goes against all the β€œlaws of nature”, it goes against all the knowledge and all the understanding of how reality works, of what reality is. It goes against all physics and all maths and all sciences.

Inside of a reality of the human mind, experiencing the universe directly is not possible.

Inside of a reality where experiencing the universe directly is possible, directions are not needed. Reality doesn’t have to do anything in order to experience itself.

Inside of your reality, the answer to your question doesn’t exist.

I wrote this answer, I thought it was true and then I thought about it and realized that the answer is true. And it isn't.

It is true, because the experience of a direct awareness of the universe is incomprehensible to the mind. The mind does not recognize it, understand it, certainly doesn't value it. Yet we have it, every human, all the time experiences awareness.

Every moment of every day we experience a direct awareness of ourselves, of our bodies, of the air on our skin, of the thoughts in our heads. This is a direct awareness of the universe.

Principal Obstacles to Success of the Analyst:

a. Inadequate or Incorrect Data. Fairly self-explanatory. If you have bad data, your success is hindered. Data can be falsified despite the increasing calls for regulation, something as true back then as it is in 2021. Be skeptical of everything presented to you by either a company or a historical record. Sometimes concealment is inevitable, and in these cases, an incorrect judgement can be made.

b. Uncertainties of the Future. Even if your analysis is correct, the future brings with it a quantifiable measure of uncertainty which can dilute the efficacy of your initial analysis. Keep this in mind as you are on your investment journey.

c. The Irrational Behavior of the Market. Ah, the old adage we all know and hate. The market can stay irrational longer than you can remain solvent. The authors mention that you can combat this by purchasing liquid securities and also by positioning yourself to be able to stay patient for long periods of time, if necessary.

The Hazard of Tardy Adjustment of Price Value:

Over the course of a period of time that you are holding a security with the intention that the price will reflect the intrinsic value you have determined, you MUST be weary of the fact that a catalyst could suddenly occur which completely changes the intrinsic value of the security, for better or for worse. The analyst can protect themselves by finding situations which are not subject to sudden change by favoring securities where the popular interest promises a swift response to changes in value. This can be accomplished by finding undervalued securities under normal market conditions (our current market would not be considered normal by the author's standards), and by staying cautious in times of abnormal stress and uncertainty.

The Relationship of Intrinsic Value to Market Price:
