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 6th 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.

As the Wall Street Journal 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."
