We were happy to see the number of readers who were interested in trying out an online calculator for estimating a discount for lack of marketability (DLOM) we announced last issue. The calculator estimates a DLOM based on the analyst’s choice of comparable public companies. The methodology it uses is based on the Margrabe options approach, and Dr. Ashok Abbott (West Virgina University) is developing the calculator. If you would like to try it yourself, you can find a link to it at the end of a very short questionnaire that you can access if you click here. Thanks for your interest!
