To beat the market you have to do what others ARE NOT doing

February 22, 2018

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

Great ideas in this book. I was disappointed at first because it was expensive yet it is fairly short. However after plowing through it I realize it is short because there isn't any filler. I appreciate that.

My favorite book ever was Joel Greenblatt's Little Blue Book That Beats the Market. The Acquirers Multiple expands even further on Greenblatt's quantitative formula... and being a geeky Engineer both books really speak to my heart.

I am now convinced and I will dedicate a portion of my portfolio to Tobias' formula for investing. Thanks

I highly recommend this book

December 2, 2017

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

I highly recommend this book. The most important takeaway is the principle of mean reversion and how failure to recognize it can lead investors to mistaking an apparently bargain-priced stock for one due for a period of under performance. The author correctly notes that very few companies have enough of a competitive advantage to sustain above average profit margins over time, and thus buying recent market "winners" typically leads to less than optimal results. A very useful resource for those who manage money or actively invest on their own behalf. Further, the portions about the early days of Warren Buffett, Carl Icahn, and Dan Loeb are interesting and informative and provide information not widely known.

An essential investing read

February 3, 2018

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

Even for relatively unsophisticated investors starting out this book is a gem. It takes you through a modified value investing approach including the basics of the balance sheet right up to making sophisticated decisions about your own approach. It can be read quickly but is worth going back through it in some detail, then following the author on his own web site. When you realize how much voodoo investing is out there, you need this book to hack your way through the fog to a clear, rational, and disciplined approach.

A quick and easy read.

November 8, 2017

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

If you have read Tobias Carlisles previous books, you will find nothing new here. What you will get, is a summary of his earlier books with more concrete advice regarding how to actually implement the strategy described in the book. This is also what the author aimed for, and achieved.

From the start of the book I got the feeling that the author had done a lot of "copy-and-paste" from his previous books as there are a lot of short paragraphs and a somewhat non existing storyline. That improves later in the book. There are also some typos and language errors that can change the meaning of a sentence, but from the content you can easily identify those and they don't cause too much trouble.

Regarding the content I'm really pleased, and it was an enjoyable read with "to-the-point" statements and advice. Recommended.

Great book, quick read, and highly informative. Toby doesn’t waste your time with this one, like so many other investment books. As a bonus, this is not a hard idea to follow and you can very easily build valuation spreadsheets using programming languages or excel add-ons linked to data services.

Delivers a Primary Perspective on Deep Value Investing Strategies.

February 20, 2018

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

A neat, concise anthology on deep value investing strategies. Very interesting for a direct equity investor, or someone interested in a career in investment advice. For the casual reader, this book is a useful addition to a library on investment literature. Read this if Benjamin Graham's, "The Intelligent investor " is too long for you

This book is a must-read for any value investor. The author shows how inexpensive stocks outperform due to a very reliable mechanism: mean reversion. The author explains everything thoroughly in language even the financially challenged can understand. I feel fortunate that I came across this book.

Informative and compelling

March 18, 2018

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

I’m a relative newcomer to investing but have read a number of the key recommended texts.

This book was suggested to me by a friend who is a long term investor.

Some of the other books I read I found heavy going and a tad exhausting. Tobias is a great “narrator” and did a great job of explaining why different investment attributes are important. He shows the reader how to make important calculations - reminds users of the investment theories of the all time legends - and then presents a compelling argument on why the Acquirer’s Multiple philosophy gives investors an edge.

This book has definitely given me some good ideas that I will now try to put into practice!

All the best to everyone in the markets
