I and two others guys had our first meeting of an Ottawa value investors discussion group (OVID) today. We are going slow, and have assigned ourselves the task of just determining the WACC for Sanderson Farms for our next meeting in a month. We will troll the internet to see if we can find data such as bond ratings and equity premiums and so forth that would fit this industry.

    I downloaded the Sanderson case from the Ivey store yesterday for $3.30.

    I just received an e-mail from one of the members that competitors Pilgrim's Pride and Gold Kist with it are bankrupt. They were important aspects of the case, but we'll ignore reality and proceed in the unreal world of academia.

     If anyone wants to contribute WACC analysis and list data sources, it would be welcome. We are just doing this for practice, to try out the process learned in June.
