In this brief presentation, the speaker introduces the Hartman Risk Evaluator as a valuation method that seeks a more accurate assessment of an asset’s true value by comparing its price against a diversified basket of roughly 40 items—including commodities like eggs, gold, orange juice, and other goods—rather than relying solely on U.S. dollars. The speaker argues that using only dollars is flawed because the dollar’s purchasing power fluctuates, making it a “moving target.” By anchoring valuation to multiple reference items, the evaluator purportedly provides a clearer picture of whether an asset, particularly real estate, is cheap or expensive.

Chapters

The Hartman Risk Evaluator is just a really good way to understand the real value of anything. And, you know, we apply it to real estate because everybody, when they try to understand the cost or the value of something, they do it on only one item, and that is US Dollars. And that is a mistaken way to do it, because US Dollars are a moving target. And so if we compare it to 40 other things like eggs or gold or orange juice or the cost of commodities, we can really arrive at a truer understanding of whether something is cheap or expensive. And that's one of the things that the Harman Risk Evaluator helps people do.
