If true, than it would be quite easy to determine stock prices, but I assure you that prices are much higher than what is left for common shareholders to claim.
Of course--the prices reflect the present value of the future cash flow of the company. As the future is unknown, the correct price is also an estimate and differs from person to person.
Forecasting stock prices is more art than science. If it was science, everyone would arrive at the same conclusions.

Oh, stock price speculation takes into account much more than expected future revenues. That is textbook nonsense.

It's theoretical. Another one says the only value in stocks is the dividends it pays over time. Even earnings don't matter as much.

No, because like I said, you have to estimate future cash flows which is very speculative. Different people can have very different ideas of the future.

Sure, speculation does--that's nothing more than gambling. That's not what we're talking about though.
Buying a stock shouldn't be speculation.

Any decision is a speculation.

It's not theoretical and it's certainly not textbook nonsense. Whether or not people do the calculations before buying a stock is up to them, but it doesn't make it less true.

Speculation has a specific definition in economic terms and every decision does not meet that definition.

Too bad economics is far from definitive. False knowledge at best.

Valuation theory is pretty much bogus. Price is what will be paid, for whatever reason, including illogical beliefs, too much cash in circulation, a perception of momentum, what is currently in vogue, what fits the meme of the month, etc.
Besides, price affects the fundamental as much as the other way around.
Anyway, increasingly so, investment is no longer about economics and finance. Rather, it is a domain of game theory and machine learning.
There will ALWAYS be under valued securities.
But that is not actionable information.
Stock valuation models are even less useful than common options pricing models.
He said it's 100% overvalued.
You don't deserve this advise, but you should be careful about saying stupid things. And you should think beyond headlines. You've spent too much time swapping spit with CIC so I shouldn't be surprised that you don't think critically. Hussman isn't saying that stocks are over valued in absolute terms by 100%. Go back and read it again. He says that stocks are twice the value of a business cycle low reversion point that would bring them back to a "normal rate of return" for investors. Do you actually grasp the difference between that and the ignorant turd you just pinched off?
OK, I'll go with that explanation.
i would still put Hussman, Schitt and Fibber in the same camp of soon to be BK. Warren Buffett is the man to take advise from.
There will ALWAYS be under valued securities. Denying that is utter stupidity. That's the operative condition. What do you do? Labor isn't worth fuck all in America, so what are you going to do with money? Do something or shut the fuck up.
How about figuring out the undervalued securities and buying them?
Stocks of homebuilders are way underpriced. I'm all in.

Well, of course, someone who is able to make billions with his philosophy deserves more respect.
However, you have to assume that every piece of advice comes with an agenda.

How do you know when they will cease to be "undervalued?"

Of course it is. Price is whatever someone will pay for it.
Again--that doesn't make valuation theory bogus.

Only because they depend on information that is difficult to predict...
Only because they depend on information that is difficult to predict...
Then what is the value of models? I reckon they were concocted to support the modernist meta-narrative.
From another perspective, ALL models are 100% correct if the inputs are allowed to be 100% uncertain. How useful is that?
Models are overrated. Once the makeup wears off they are merely skeletons.
