You're already on the right track by taking a critical approach to shit you read online.

You educate yourself by reading. Many consider pic related the bible of VI, and it's probably true. Personally I think investopedia's guide is a much better place to start:

http://www.investopedia.com/university/value-investing/

It covers most important aspects and provides useful links.

The tl;dr version of VI analysis is a 20/80 composite between a 10-year DCF valuation and a strategical analysis (aka common sense) of a given stock. If this doesn't really make sense, read the guide.

You should take my advice if you're interested in finding the best possible long-term investments. Pic in the OP is the development in my portfolio compared to relevant index (purple) over the last 3 years.
