Pass if you want to use your brain

Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on July 23, 2021

I wish I knew that this book was written for people who don't care to know what they are investing in. Finding a combination of high earnings yield and low return on investment capital makes perfect sense, but this notion could be covered in a few pages. The author uses most of this book to encourage investors not to use their brains beyond it. He admits that this recipe for investing is only part of how finds his own investments. So if you want to use your brain as an investor pass on this book.

This should be the first book anyone reads before they start investing.

Stock Market and Investing Ideas

Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on March 10, 2013

This is a very well written and somewhat of a basic or starter book for ideas on getting into self-investing. It gives you one main idea as to how you can handle your own investing. It is certainly not a book for sophisticated investors, but I think aimed more at the novice investor or someone who is realitively new to looking after growing their own wealth without the cost and risk of "investment advisors" and the associated MERs (management expense ratios)... A very good read and thought provoking for the more experienced investor too... Well written and an easy read... It offers up some good thoughts, good background, but is not the panacea to investing... it is also not a "get-rich-quick" book... nor is it a cash grab for the author... it is good value if you keep in mind it is only offering you some thoughts and an idea as how one investment option is viewed... it does promote longer term investing and sticking with the format for at least three years... Good book... FS

small book, big idea

Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on March 18, 2017

Pros: Easy and fun read. Unique idea and approach that seems to make sense from a high level. Even if you decide not to take this particular approach as is, it does provide an additional way to consider looking at companies from a fundamental perspective.

Cons: The book is only intended for stock investing. References are only American. In practice this approach would eat up lot of commission fees compared to traditional investing recommended for sedate investors. The book mentions it will not work in all stocks, but does not dive into the reasons why or examine any of these flops, nor does it dive into the further reasoning why certain ones worked.

I Really Like How Greenblatt Writes

I like Joel's style of writing, it was also evident in You Can Be A Stock Market Genius. It's funny, has practical examples and gives the impression that anyone can invest (which anyone can).

The printing on the cover is just removable paper, that's the only thing that I wasn't expecting, but the content is excellent, I recommend it.

Easy reading & explains each point well

Easy reading & explains each point well. You'll probably do well if you read it, follow the advice and have discipline to keep with it. Not many investment managers match market indexes over time, let alone beat them as this approach should do. It came highly recommended by a very experienced successful portfolio manager I met. I read it within a day. Focuses on US markets. Highly recommended.
