WHAT IS VALUE?
"I can't change the fact that my paintings don't sell. But the time will come when people will recognize
that they are worh more than the value of the paints used in the picture." -Vincent van Gogh (`1878)

"There is nothing on earth with an absolute value. We can only allocate a subjective perspective what
things mean to ourselves." -Charles Dudley Warner (1829-1900)
"Managers must have a criterion for evaluating performance and deciding between alternative courses
of action, and that criterion should be maximazation of long-term market value of the firm. This Value
Maximization proposition has its roots in 200 years of research in economics and finance." -Michael
Jensen (2001)

"Price is what you pay. Value is what you get." -Warren Buffet (1930-today)

asset.
