MODERN VALUE INVESTING: 25 Tools to Invest With a Margin of Safety in Today's Financial Environment Paperback – April 24, 2018

Collects all of the value investing maxims in abbreviated form in one place, with examples. Well worth reading and following.

Sven Carlin does a good job in going through a number of different “tools” for the value investor. I think this book is a good starting point for whom who are curious about the subject, to start further explorations and eventually come back to the book, after a sound grasp of the tools has been achieved. Very interesting and practical the Daimler case that is presented.

Being an admirer of Sven's Youtube Channel, I immediately rushed to buy his book when it released and I can safely say that the book fulfilled my high expectations.The first part of the book covers the non-technical piece of value investing. Sven talks in detail about the market and wall street inefficiencies and what kind of mindset is needed for a value investor to profit from them. He covers lot of core lessons from classic books like the 'Intelligent Investor', 'Margin of Safety' and 'Alchemy of Finance'.The second part of the book covers the technical piece and describes many different numerical techniques to value a company and how to create a range of values to effectively reduce risk, have a margin of safety and maximize returns.Sven uses a very easy to understand language but also does not dumb down the content; so it can be used practically unlike some other books which tackle the philosophical aspects but do not deal with everyday usable material. It's not a beginners book though and needs some familiarity with basic terms and metrics used in investing. But for anyone who is even vaguely familiar with investing, I would highly recommend this book.

I've delved into the works of investing legends like Seth Klarman (the GOAT), Warren Buffett, Ben Graham, Peter Lynch, and Charles Munger. Carlin's book effectively condenses and provides numerous examples for evaluating stocks. He particularly addresses growth stocks with today's investors in mind. Given my significant holdings in tech stocks, I find Sven's perspective highly relatable to these renowned investors. I strongly recommend adding this book to your collection. If you're starting, consider beginning with Ben Graham's 'The Intelligent Investor,' Seth Klarman's 'Margin of Safety,' and some of Peter Lynch's (they're shorter) works. Carlin skillfully summarizes all these insights into one comprehensive book. Fantastic job, Sven! I also follow your YouTube channel for great content.

I highly recommend Modern Value Investing as it is full of useful information on how to invest in stocks. The book echoes the timeless investing wisdom offered by Ben Graham in the Intelligent Investor and Seth Klarman in Margin of Safety, and focuses on practical techniques that help with applying those ideas in modern financial markets.I stumbled upon Sven Carlin's YouTube channel about a year ago, and have since followed his content daily. In this book and on his YouTube channel, Sven provides countless insights about value investing (the strategy of investing in companies when their stocks are priced at a discount and with minimal downside risk). He also reviews the teachings of financial gurus like Ben Graham, Ray Dalio and Warren Buffett, and provides stellar information on the global economy. Sven's commentary is always objective, never sensationalized, and is full of detailed analyses delivered in a way that even complete beginners can understand.After reading and watching Sven's content, the principles he discusses now seem like common sense. But in reality, the investing strategy that Sven teaches is far from common knowledge for those of us that do not have formal financial education. I have found tremendous value in Sven's content, and am extremely grateful for the positive impact that it continues to have on my financial future.

Fast read covering current topics in finance. Ray Dario, buffet and other big names are mentioned along with strategies and historical data.

I love the condensed and straight-to-the-point style of the writer. It's an excellent book for beginners and even more advanced stock market investors.

Great book! Both the philosophy and the primary tools of value investing, are clearly explained in this book. I highly recommend it.However, to quote NYU Stern Professor Aswath Damodaran:In spite of the impeccable academic evidence in its favor, there is littlebacking for the general claim that being an active value investor generatesexcess returns (relative to investing a value index fund).But if you choose to go down the path of analyzing and buying individual stocks anyway, which I do a little bit of, this book is a great resource.
