About this listen
In 2005, Joel Greenblatt published a book that is already considered one of the classics of finance literature. In The Little Book that Beats the Market—a New York Times best seller with 300,000 copies in print—Greenblatt explained how investors can outperform the popular market averages by simply and systematically applying a formula that seeks out good businesses when they are available at bargain prices. Now, with a new Introduction and Afterword for 2010, The Little Book that Still Beats the Market updates and expands upon the research findings from the original book. Included are data and analysis covering the recent financial crisis and model performance through the end of 2009.
In a straightforward and accessible style, the book explores the basic principles of successful stock market investing and then reveals the author’s time-tested formula that makes buying above-average companies at below-average prices automatic. Though the formula has been extensively tested and is a breakthrough in the academic and professional world, Greenblatt explains it using sixth-grade math, plain language, and humor. He shows how to use his method to beat both the market and professional managers by a wide margin.
You’ll also learn why success eludes almost all individual and professional investors, and why the formula will continue to work even after everyone “knows” it. While the formula may be simple, understanding why the formula works is the true key to success for investors. Greenblatt will take listeners on a step-by-step journey so that they can learn the principles of value investing in a way that will provide them with a long term strategy that they can understand and stick with through both good and bad periods for the stock market.

Excellent book, Cringe worthy narration
This book is awesome for any investor, and is well written. Unfortunately the narration is pretty cheesy in its delivery.

Fun book
Was very simple, easy to understand with a fundamental value investing approach. A little bit of tried humour was pretty cool. This investing approach has been highly successful for myself over the past 7 years.

Enjoyed it!
Great strategy.
Audio book was good, has a pdf file that goes with it as it is a finance book so some details need a eye review.

Thoroughly compelling read
Ignore the cheesy title and delivery - this book provides powerful and accessible guidance for those individuals who are capable of investing in a disciplined manner. My only regret is not reading this in 2010 when it was first released. Would highly recommend others read this.

The more you know the more this makes sense
If you know a little bit about the value of companies, it’s amazing how much this book actually makes sense and as long as you’re not trying to day trade and have a long-term view, I think this book makes a lot of sense

FULL OF FLUFF
There are some books you just can't put down. This isn't one of them, in fact part way in, I couldn't pick it back up again!!
when the author started talking about "The magic formula that can predict the future" that was enough..
Full of fluff, very patronising and outdated despite the author claiming the 2010 version being an update, still talks about markets and historicals pre 2004
Do yourself a favour and dont..

Not for outside the USA...?
It seemed interesting and made sense but at the end states it is not really applicable outside of America... tried looking for stocks here in Australia and CommSec didn't have the stocks listed on his website.

My Ears are echoing Magic Formula ..magic formula
If Author could have just used Word "Formula" instead of saying Magic Formula each time, It could have saved half of the pages. All you keep hearing is Magic formula magic formula. and Magic Formula is given in just Last hour of book and takes 15 mins to explain , that's it.
