Reflection paper about this principle
Principle #2: Expect Volatility (unexpected changes) and Profit from itinvesting in stocks means dealing with volatility. Instead of running for the exits during times of market stress, the smart investor greets downturns as chances to find great investments. Graham illustrated this with the analogy of "Mr. Market," the imaginary business partner of each and every investor. Mr. Market offers investors a daily price quote at which he would either buy an investor out or sell his share of the business. Sometimes, he will be excited about the prospects for the business and quote a high price. Other times, he is depressed about the business's prospects and quotes a low price.

Problem 3: Stock Valuation (30 points)
You work as a security analyst for a large investment firm. The portfolio manager has
asked you whether it is a good idea to buy "ABC" stocks. The current stock price for
"ABC" is $345 and the firm has just paid a $14 dividend.
You have decided that the dividend discount model is appropriate for your valuation
of ABC's stock. After carefully analyzing the firm and all relevant data, your best
forecast is that the firm's dividends are expected to remain constant for the next five
years. After that, dividends are expected to grow at 15% for 10 years. Following that,
the growth is expected to be 3% forever. Assume that the required rate of return is
10%.
A) What is the (theoretical) stock value based on the dividend discount model?
B) Would you recommend buying the stock? Explain
Hint: There are many ways to solve the problem. The simplest approach is to
split it into two parts, find the value of each part, and then add the values…
