Two hours with The Little Book That Beats the Market will. In The Little Book, Joel Greenblatt, Founder and Managing Partner at Gotham Capital (with average annualized returns of 40% for over 20 years), does more than simply set out the basic principles for successful stock market investing. He provides a "magic formula" that is easy to use and makes buying good companies at bargain prices automatic. Though the formula has been extensively tested and is a breakthrough in the academic and professional world, Greenblatt explains it using 6th grade math, plain language and humor. You'll learn how to use this low risk method to beat the market and professional managers by a wide margin. You'll also learn how to view the stock market, why success eludes almost all individual and professional investors, and why the formula will continue to work even after everyone "knows" it. Customer Reviews Average Rating: Rating: - Not to be taken seriously This book was recommended to me by an acquaintance after I mentioned that I wanted to learn more about investing. I had high hopes from the first chapter, but came away disappointed. Greenblatt is overly simplistic at best and a snake oil salesman at worst. From a purely stylistic standpoint, I found the book annoyingly pedantic. Greenblatt uses frequent stories about his children and fictitious business examples to illustrate major ideas. I found it refreshing at first, but the metaphors ... Read More Rating: - A Formulaic Approach to Investing In some ways, the average investor is like a man looking for the right combination to get at the riches in a vault. Unlocking the market's treasures - knowing which stocks to buy and sell - is a difficult mystery seemingly beyond his powers. Joel Greenblatt is the founder and managing partner of a private investment firm called Gotham Capital. Since its inception in 1985, Gotham, with Greenblatt at the helm, has compiled one of the most astounding track records in the history of investing. ...

Based on 5/4/10 opening prices you would be down -16.3% versus -8.81% for the S&P500 (cap weighted). Only three stocks are posting postive returns + 4.3% combined. The combined return of the stocks I removed due to having PEs less than 5 is -18%. A better benchmark might be something like the Vanguard Small Cap Value index which is down 12.45% over the same period. Also currently the ... Read More Rating: - Great Little Book! The book arrived in very good condition for a used book. I received it via US Mail and got it in short order. The book is intertaining and informative. It takes a modern and novel approach to value investing. I am going to give the method a try with a small initial investment and four stocks. Wish me well! Rating: - Best Investing Book Since the Intelligent Investor For the average, small fry investor, this is the best investing book since the Intelligent Investor. It is one of the only books that gives you a quantifiable and systematic way of evaluating the quality and price of a company, and it then also teaches you how to manage your portfolio in a way that, while not avoiding volatility, significantly lowers the odds of your blowing yourself up. In some respects, the book is even better than the Intelligent Investor, since the writing is clearer and it goes straight ... Read More see more
