Joshua Rosenbaum

"Written by two investment bankers, Investment Banking is centered on the primary valuation methodologies currently used on Wall Street, namely Comparable Companies Analysis, Precedent Transactions Analysis, Discounted Cash Flow Analysis, and Leveraged Buyout Analysis. These methodologies are used to determine valuation for public and private companies, most notably for mergers & acquisitions transactions, leveraged buyouts, and initial public offerings. They also form the cornerstone for valuing companies on a standalone basis, including an assessment of whether a given public company is overvalued or undervalued. Using a step-by-step "how to" approach for each methodology, Josh R. and Josh P. build a chronological knowledge base and define key terms, financial concepts, and processes throughout the book. The authors also provide context for the various valuation methodologies through a comprehensive overview of the fundamentals of LBOs and an organized M&A sale process, including key participants, financing sources, strategies, and legal and marketing documentation. In the aftermath of the subprime mortgage crisis and the ensuing credit crunch, the world of finance is returning to the fundamentals of valuation and critical due diligence for acquisition and investment opportunities. This involves the use of more realistic assumptions governing approach to risk as well as a wide range of valuation drivers such as expected future company financial performance, discount rates, multiples, leverage, and terms. While valuation has always involved a great deal of "art" in addition to time-tested "science," the artistry is constantly evolving in accordance with market developments and conditions. In this sense, this book is particularly topical -- in addition to detailing the technical fundamentals behind valuation, the authors infuse practical judgment skills and perspective to help guide the science."--Publisher's website.

Valuation Models + Online Course

As you have probably noticed, there are quite a few investing books out there. Many of them were written by some of the world's greatest investors. So, why should you read our book? Stock investing is more prevalent than ever, whether directly or indirectly through brokerage accounts, exchange-traded funds, mutual funds, or retirement plans. Despite this, the vast majority of individual investors have no training on how to pick stocks. And, until now, there hasn't been a truly accessible, easy-to-understand resource available to help them. The Little Book of Investing Like the Pros was written to fill this void. We believe the simplicity and accessibility of our stock picking framework is truly unique. Using real-world examples and actual Wall Street models used by the pros, we teach you how to pick stocks in a highly accessible, step-by-step manner. Our goal is straightforward—to impart the skills necessary for finding high-quality stocks while protecting your portfolio with risk management best practices. Our practical approach is designed to help demystify the investing process, which can be intimidating. This training will help set you apart from others who are largely flying blind. Pilots require extensive training before receiving a license. Doctors must graduate medical school, followed by a multi-year residency. Even those providing professional investment advice require certification. But, anyone can buy a stock without any training whatsoever. While buying stocks on a hunch and a prayer may not endanger your life, it can certainly put your finances at risk.
