Old School Value Reviews 

I like OSV. It's not the only tool I use to evaluate investments but it definitely builds a good foundation. More than anything, I like the visualization of all the fundamental data and the long time horizons. It really allows you to grasp the big picture of where a stock is with regard to its valuation. Similarly, the inclusion of metrics such as CRIOC, ROIC, FCF, Owner Earnings, and others that you usually wouldn't find in a company's reports allow for a lot more insight than the average person would find.

great data and granularity. Would like to see robust screening capability even if the subscription costs more.

Great customer service. If there is an issue, they are on it! This site allows me to download data into my custom spreadsheet and utilize methods otherwise not available on this scale. Imagine calculating the intrinsic value with 4 or 5 methods of 50 stocks every day. Impossible. A real time saver!

Old school value is my go to app for quantitive data. They have made my life a lot easier when I need to just take a quick look at something. I would highly recommend them over others

OSV has saved me hours of time researching and valuing companies.

My rating would change to 5-stars if OSV found a way include all other major stock exchanges (equities) globally. Especially those in western Europe, India, Middle East, China, Japan, Southeast Asia and Australia. I would welcome a reasonable increase in the subscription price for this.
Thanks.

I hardly use it anymore. You can get most of the same online free.

The best stock analysis tool I've ever used. It's not for beginners so you should know the terminologies and what the valuation methods are used for. Other than that it's easy to use, fast & they have the most accurate data on par with any similar service existing out there today.

Spreadsheet and database are very useful in evaluations. Only issues are:
- 1-2 week delay between company's quarterly releases and financial update availability.
- Numerous inconsistencies in financial data; sum of quarters not equal to full year for some categories; 10-Q and 10-K data not always put in "buckets" in a consistent manner.
Assume these shortcomings are from your data provider.

Love the site, love the tools.

Great software, would emphatically recommend.

It started out with a great deal of ambition and promise as Jae Jun brought OSV to market. For quick fundamental information on the value of a company as an investment, he built a pretty solid system for rating investment in a company. All of this groundwork over time implied that coloring within the lines of O$V would lead to a pretty picture of money made. But through life changes, the implied promise was passed to Mike to somehow fulfill. I think that manifested itself into one recommendation of a stock, REI, along with recommendations of reams of prospective reading material. While that reading material may hold great nuggets of investment advice, it runs counter to what I understood to be one of the original OSV concepts of a quick and easy method to value stocks. For the implied promise of making money to be hidden inside the voluminous reading of successful published stock market investors is kind of the equivalent of saying to the proverbial prospector, "There's your mountain, go find your gold." It's built on the truth there is gold in the mountains, but you vs. the mountain is hardly an easy or quick proposition to finding gold even if it came with a secret map. ;-)
Another way to state my point of view is, if OSV was built on the premise of being able to reliably and quickly give you basic value investment-worthy information, it seems counter-productive to say, "here's some valuable reading that may help you better use the OSV information." I know there is value in those links, but I hope you can see that it as at least presumptive to think some, most, or all of your members have the bandwidth to wade through it and find nuggets that may enhance your use of OSV. I for one, though retired, would never find the time to read all the material sent my way. My investment portfolio is important, but so are many others things in my life. I was attracted to OSV by its promise of clear and quick investment info and the hope that as a value investor, it would help point me towards investments with good returns. I think statistically it's proven that while OSV info renders solid value investing information, but it is not a shortcut to great investment returns.
Bottom line, OSV has a beautiful platform to quickly show the value of prospective investments. That is its' core. But all along it seemed to imply, 'and with it you can . . .' and whatever that "can" is appears to be a struggle for both OSV and its customers. For me, to continue to renew my membership, either you have to sell it for what it does best, which is to quantify the value of an investment and leave it at that, or finally figure out what the connector is to that process that gives it added value.

I like using OSV because it allows me to make more informed decisions on my investments. All in one place helping me to be more efficient. Enjoy the commentary/article references also.

The most information you could find in one app.

Very easy to use. Provides excellent valuation analysis for "quick and dirty" perspective on profitability, financial stability, and efficiency of assets. Very helpful in diagnosing earnings quality issues. Ability to modify the assumptions and discount rates on your preferences.

Core Tool for Fundemental Analysis, and actually calculating a price for a stock based on fundemental and value metrics.

Helps to narrow down investing ideas, but sometimes displays companies that are not up to date with financial reports, therefore it could be misleading. As with any tool, if you don't know how to use it you can get hurt. Use it wisely.

Excellent resource for investors who want to do their own homework. I have been using valuation spreadsheets created by Jae Jun as early as 2013 and experienced the whole process of moving to online valuation service. There are many valuation resources on the web, but Old School Value is the easiest to use for analyzing stock price sensitivity as part of my decision making. I also appreciate the lists of top 10 stocks by different metrics. Those give me ideas for further research.

One of the best. Great stock scoring system that helps to navigate and find stocks worth my time to research.
