The Little Book That Still Beats the Market
Years in business school won't educate on you how to double the market's return, but two hours with The Little Book That Beats the Market will. Joel Greenblatt does more than simply lay out the fundamental principles for successful stock market investing. Even better, he shares a magic formula that makes purchasing good companies at low prices easy. While the formula has been proven and tested, Greenblatt simplifies it even more using plain words, 6th grade math, and humor. You'll learn how to use this low risk approach to win the market by a wide margin. It also teaches you how to view the stock market, why success flees almost all individual and professional investors, and why the formula will continue to work even after everyone "knows" it.
