Great book by a great investor by Mariusz Skonieczny (ClassicValueInvestors.blogspot.com) 5 Stars
August 14, 2009
Joel Greenblatt is by far one of the most successful value investors this country has ever seen. In this book, he shows readers how he does it. He invests in places where other investors do not want to go. Some of the places include spinoffs, risk arbitrage, bankruptcy, restructuring, recapitalizations, LEAPS, and warrants. Because these special situations are complicated, many traditional money managers ignore them and this creates inefficiencies in the market that investors can exploit.
I like how at the beginning of this book, he describes to readers that it is possible to beat the smart money on Wall Street. These big money managers have certain challenges that individual investors do not have. For example, funds managing billions of dollars are unlikely to invest in small-cap companies. They simply manage too much money. Individual investors do not have this restriction. I highly recommend this book and his other book, The Little Book That Beats the Market (Little Books. Big Profits).

The book was in good condition. The content of the book itself was nothing we didn't know already.

This book was copyright 1997! Old information, very confusing for 2008 (old references, which are in my opinion, now irrelevant). B. Hodgson

Look Before You LEAP by mike ferry (OC, CA) 3 Stars
April 16, 2008
I get up in the morning and walk my dog on the walking path just off the beach (Pacific Ocean adjacent). On my walk I always say hello to Mrs. Rothchild who is reading the Investor's Business Daily while sitting on her polished teakwood patio set. I jibe her that she should switch to the Wall Street Journal and get a real job investing like I do. After a quick but nutritious breakfast, I settle down to my state of the art computer where I E-trade my way to this lavish lifestyle I currently enjoy (takes no more than an hour!). After my "investing", I'll cruise PCH in my new convertible BMW and work on that driving tan. Thanks Joel Greenblatt!
What the heck? Oh drat, the alarm went off. I was having that dream again; now I must get ready for the drive to Pomona in my '98 Daewoo. So kick me, I am not yet a stock market genius. Can I be if I apply the lessons of this book? Maybe... but I have neither the time nor the money. For the person with both it might still be a great idea to have a stock market genius walk them through the paces for a few months.
On the merits of readability, Greenblatt dishes out the drudgery in a well presented and entertaining style. You get case studies, nifty chapter summaries, advice not to run through dynamite factories with lit matches, and a Gilligan's Island hit in the glossary (not bad for fourteen Yankee Dollars).
P.S. All you reviewers and review readers out there, have any of you struck pay dirt following the advice in this book?
