Synopsis

This is a book review of The Little Book that Beats the Market by Joel Greenblatt. The basic concept of the book is that it's quite simple to beat the market. So simple in fact, that a specific magic formula can be used to beat the market.

If that sounds too good to be true, that’s understandable.

The author Joel Greenblatt understands your skepticism. His goal is twofold:

1. Share his magic formula with you

2. Explain the concepts that make the magic formula work.

Would you like to invest using the Magic Formula?

I have developed what I believe to be the easiest and cheapest solution.  I created an index version based on the formula.  You can buy a 30 stock index of companies chosen using the Magic Formula which I plan to update on an annual basis.  All for a single low commission of $9.95. (In contrast to an estimated $150 if you bought each stock individually, at $5 per stock commission)
