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 bestseller 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 6^th 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. 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.

They are in luck. His 'Little Book' is one of the best, clearest guides to value investing out there.

Learn a better way to invest from a bestselling author and top-performing fund manager

What if there were a better way to invest in stocks, bonds, real estate and other assets? What if this better way was simple, staring the investment world in the face for decades, but no one knew about it? What if it could help investors achieve higher returns, be more tax efficient, or even achieve the same returns with less risk? What if it were easy for both individual investors and sophisticated institutions to benefit? In other words, what if there were a new book that revealed a better way to invest that, until now, no one thought possible?

Well, ready or not, here comes The Little Investment that Beats the Market. Written simply, with humor, and a sincere desire to shake up the entire investment world. Author Joel Greenblatt is the founder of Gotham Capital and a managing principal and co-CIO of Gotham Asset Management. For over two decades, he served as a professor on the adjunct faculty of Columbia Business School. Joel is the former chairman of a Fortune 500 company, a co-founder and former chairman of the Success Academy Charter Network, and the author of The Little Book That Beats the Market (2006) and The Little Book That Still Beats the Market (2010).

The United States is supposed to offer economic opportunity to everyone. It shouldn't take a worldwide pandemic and nationwide protests to bring economic and racial inequality to the forefront of problems we desperately need to solve. But now that the opportunity is here, what should we do? How can we create more equality, opportunity, and growth for everyone? Not someday, but what can government and the private sector do right now to disrupt a status quo that almost everyone wants to change?

In Common Sense, the New York Times best-selling author Joel Greenblatt offers an investor's perspective on building an economy that truly works for everyone. With dry wit and engaging storytelling, he makes a lively and provocative case for disruptive new approaches--some drawn from personal experience, some from the outside looking in. How can leading corporations immediately disrupt our education establishment while creating high-paying job opportunities for those currently left behind? If we want a living wage for everyone, how can we afford it while using an existing program to get it done now? If we subsidize banks, what simple changes can we make to the way we capitalize and regulate them to help grow the economy, increase access, and create more jobs (while keeping the risks and benefits where they belong)? Greenblatt also explains how dramatically increasing immigration would be like giving every American a giant bonus and the reason Australia might be the best place to learn about saving for retirement.

Not everyone will agree with what Greenblatt has to say--but all of us can benefit from the conversations he aims to start.
