Value.Able: How to Value the Best Stocks and Buy Them for Less

Reference Self-Help Adult Education Personal Finance Australian Non-Fiction Finance Investment Business Economics

Roger Montgomery’s Value.Able is the 2010 Australian investing classic that turns the murky art of share-market valuation into a step-by-step craft any patient investor can master. Written in plain English and loaded with real ASX examples, the book walks readers through Montgomery’s proven “equity valuation matrix,” a checklist that spots quality businesses trading below intrinsic value. Whether you’re a millennial buying your first parcel of shares or a seasoned SMSF trustee refining your watch-list, this companion guide shows you how to read a balance sheet for durability, calculate owner earnings, and set a disciplined buy price so you’re protected on the downside and positioned for long-term upside.

What makes this edition special is its tight, very-good-condition paperback format: spine is uncreased, pages are crisp and unmarked, and the only flaw is a single dog-eared corner—no ex-library stamps, no inscriptions, no highlighting. It’s the clean, ready-to-reference copy investors love to keep on the desk next to their annual reports. First-time readers appreciate Montgomery’s conversational tone and the memorable “coffee-can portfolio” analogies, while experienced practitioners return to the valuation templates and margin-of-safety flowcharts whenever the market wobbles.

Collectors and value-investing book hunters actively seek the original 2010 print run from “My 2 Cents Worth Publishing” because later reprints dropped some of the ASX data tables and simplified the diagrams. Owning this unmodified, English-language first edition means you get the full toolkit exactly as Montgomery intended, plus the satisfaction of snapping up an out-of-print title for a fraction of the long-term wealth it can help you create.
