Big Profits) Review: BEST BOOK YET! - At 80, I have just discovered this book and enjoyed it more than any other book I've read (well, at least more than any book I REMEMBER reading). The book starts slow, as if to disguise how good it really is. By chapter 6 I was laughing out loud, at the statistical simplicity, shear elegance, and ironic effectiveness of this investment approach. I've a masters in general experimental psychology and have taught graduate level statistics, so I have some background from which to reasonably allege that this is a great book. Don't miss it. Don't let the negative reviews dissuade you. This is a sincere book written by an obvious expert who has the humility to acknowledge the well established fact that most investment advisors can't beat the market. He's come up with a simple method that works, tested it, and is sharing it. You probably won't do better than this. Yet of course you probably will think you can. Which is what makes this so much fun. Is it statistics, investing advice, psychology, or zen? Just read it - and if you do, don't miss the depth that's disguised with simplicity. Don't miss the irony of a guy who wrote this to explain why you probably can't do any better than this who then spends his career managing investment funds. And writing more books. If you don't think THAT is humor, rate yourself dull normal at best! Enjoy. If you don't enjoy this book, feel free to write a scathing review of this review! Review: Excellent Strategy and clear plan - I have not read a book so clear and straight forward as this in regards to investing in the stock market. Some nice use of puns to get the point across and a solid and SIMPLE plan to get your investment and financial freedom on track. Thank you for sharing.

Some nice use of puns to get the point across and a solid and SIMPLE plan to get your investment and financial freedom on track. Thank you for sharing. This will be implemented immediately! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Short Introduction to Value Investing Principles *by F***N on February 5, 2012* The "Little Book That Beats the Market" is a short, digestible book that outlines Joel Greenblatt's "magical formula investing" theory. What is the magical formula? Comprised of two simple metrics (return on capital and earnings yield), the magical formula is an investment-screening tool designed to identify companies with better than average earning power that are for sale at a lower than average price (i.e. ones that present a "value" buying opportunity). The formula is in many ways a distillation of the teachings of Benjamin Graham (whose ideas influenced Warren Buffet) into a more populist and palatable form. To determine what companies are better than average, Mr. Greenblatt uses a "return on capital" metric. To gauge attractiveness of price, Greenblatt looks at "earning yield". The Appendix of the book outlines how it is he calculates both of these metrics. The magic formula then screens for the 20-30 stocks that have the highest ranking, when you look at all the stocks combined return on capital and earnings yield. If these concepts are new to you, Greenblatt goes so far as to even show the results of this screen on an ongoing basis on his Magic Formula website. For a more experienced investor, for someone who has read books on investing (and particularly those on value investing- Margin of Safety: Risk-Averse Value Investing Strategies for the Thoughtful Investor , The Intelligent Investor: The Definitive Book on Value Investing. A Book of Practical Counsel (Revised Edition) , The Essays of Warren Buffett: Lessons for Corporate America, Second Edition , Value Investing: Tools and Techniques for Intelligent Investment , even Joel Greenblatt's You Can Be a Stock Market Genius: Uncover the Secret Hiding Places of Stock Market Profits ), this book will not seem the best of use of time. This is an "introduction to investing" type book. Which is not to say, the ideas of this book are not important, but only that for the more experienced students of investing, this review combined with a look at Greenblatt's Magic Formula website and maybe the Appendix of this book would be enough to get the essence of the "Little Book" without having to read it in its entirety. Mr. Greenblatt's investing concept of "magic formula investing" while simple has held up well over time. Why? The formula's difficulty is not in its construction, but rather in its implementation. What makes the prevalence of these value opportunities possible is the very human nature and institutional constraints that make them difficult to implement. To help with this, Mr. Greenblatt and colleagues have now made their investment theory "investable" through either self-directed or professionally managed accounts. The funds have been available since 2009. The verdict? They are up until now beating the market. For an introduction to a simple but effective investment approach that seems to perform well over time, this book- readable in an afternoon's sitting- is worth a glance. For more experienced investors, spending thirty minutes on the Internet will probably get you to the same place. ## Frequently Bought Together - The Little Book That Still Beats the Market - The Little Book of Common Sense Investing: The Only Way to Guarantee Your Fair Share of Stock Market Returns (Little Books, Big Profits) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/1704922-the-little-book-that-still-beats-the-market-little-books](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/1704922-the-little-book-that-still-beats-the-market-little-books) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-07*
