Where can I learn LBO/M&A/DCF modeling?

I don't want to spend hundreds, if not thousands of dollars on courses yet, as it's just my second undergrad year. For the time being, are there any books or websites you can recommend? I've heard good things about this book:
http://www.amazon.com/Investment-Banking-Valuatio…
Worth it?

Thanks

 

It will seem very detailed for a sophomore. But it's not a book you can read through once and know it all. Think of it as a reference book that you'll go back to multiple times before you internalize everything. You might as well start reading it now and you'll absorb more and more over the next few years. It's a very good book.

 

Check this one out as well:

"For I am a sinner in the hands of an angry God. Bloody Mary full of vodka, blessed are you among cocktails. Pray for me now and at the hour of my death, which I hope is soon. Amen."
 

for someone trying to fill out their resume and make themselves more competitive, it can help to get relevant bullets, buzzwords and experience on the resume (but of course, it is not as valuable as an internship, for example). specifically, I think it helps if you weren't in finance before school and are struggling to "bankify" your resume.

Understand cost is an issue - we have a discount with Wall Street Prep you can read about here: http://www.wallstreetoasis.com/financial-modeling-training

Either way, best of luck! Patrick

 

Thanks mate, i wondered if there was a self-study book/books as enrolling in this program, I am assuming would require physical attendance which in my case wouldn't be possible. I come from land downunder unfortunately.

 

I think Josh Rosebaum's book "Investment Banking" is really good book and includes some pretty helpful Excel models.

Macabacus.com also has a lot of good (and free) tools online.
