? We discuss Chamath Palihapitiya and why virgin galactic dropped 18%
? finally we discuss the US treasury Yield and why it is important that it is rising so fast

Main topic:
We discuss the following valuation metrics: P/E ratio, Price to Book, Price to Sales, PEG ratio, Dividend Discount Model, Discounted Cash Flow, Dividend Yield

Listener Questions:
This week we received several questions again from our loyal listeners
Phil Segler – Which incoming dividend payment do you normally cherish the most? (For me – even though not the highest – I like my monthly $O the most). eDGI: Which CEO do you want to see next resigning?
Dividend Wave – Which CEO is annoying you enough at the moment (and why?) that may deserve one of your tweets-of-soon-to-be-unemployed-CEO*?
Dividendencheck – I recently saw a video from @ppcian about his speculation strategy. Do you also own more speculative stocks/assets or do you focus exclusively on dividend stocks ?
Tommy – What do you think about $LEG Leggett & platt inc. great podcast!
Arrozdetom – If there’s a 20-30% pull back in the market will you do anything special? A lot of people talk about consolidation of portfolio. What do you think about that? How often do you make buys in 1 month? I tend to do it all in one day so I don’t get tempted to time the market. Also i find a bit stressful to look at a stock hoping for a better entry point.
Tony – What financial media do you read and would recommend to others?

Stock pick of the week:
eDGI shares his stock pick of the week. This time a US dividend aristocrat?
