Two years in MBA school won't teach you how to double the market's return. 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.

Very Simple and Intriguing

Greenblatt comes across as pretty genuine, and definitely believes what he is promoting, however, I think his views on implementing his theory with little regard to market conditions is a bit careless.

But I do think it is worth reading, (it doesn't take long) because it provides you with a different perspective on the market, and you're bound to pick up a few new concepts and strategies that you might not have been aware of before.

If you don't want to read or buy the book, then go to the store and read the last chapter, and you'll get everything you need from the book.
