<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Through entertaining anecdotes and practical pearls of wisdom, this resource explores the basic principles of successful stock market investing and then reveals a "magic formula" that makes buying good companies at bargain prices automatic.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>In 2005, Joel Greenblatt published a book that is already considered one of the classics of finance literature. In <i>The Little Book that Beats the Market--</i>a <i>New York Times</i> bestseller with 300,000 copies in print<i>--</i>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, <i>The Little Book that Still Beats the Market</i> 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 6<sup>th</sup> 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. <p>While the formula may be simple, understanding why the formula works is the true key to success for investors. The book will take readers 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.</p> <p>As the <i>Wall Street Journal</i> stated about the original edition, "Mr. Greenblatt...says his goal was to provide advice that, while sophisticated, could be understood and followed by his five children, ages 6 to 15. They are in luck. His 'Little Book' is one of the best, clearest guides to value investing out there."</p><p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br><b>Praise for THE LITTLE BOOK THAT BEATS THE MARKET</b> <p>Simply perfect.
