4. Term Of The Day 📚
Discounted Cash Flow (DCF)
📖Definition: A valuation method used to estimate the value of an investment based on its expected future cash flows, adjusted for time value of money
📊Why it matters: DCF helps investors assess whether a stock or project is worth investing in by focusing on future performance, not just current metrics
💡Example: If a company is expected to generate $10,000 annually for 5 years and your discount rate is 8%, DCF will show the present value of those future cash flows to guide investment decisions
5. Song Of The Day 🎧
🎧Song: “Take My Name” by Parmalee
Genre: Country
Why it hits: A heartfelt, catchy country ballad blending classic lyrics with a polished modern sound—great for unwinding or cruising with the windows down
