What it does
Price is what you pay and value is what you get, and they are rarely the same. A cheap price on a weak thing can lose to a fair price on a strong one, because time works for the strong one and against the weak one. The cost of any choice is also the best thing you gave up for it. This skill estimates what the choice is worth in three cases, picks a price you will not go above, and compares the result with your next best option. It adds the fees, taxes and switching costs that quietly reduce the return. It is a method of analysis and is not personal financial advice.
