Summary
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 best seller 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 sixth-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. Greenblatt will take listeners 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.

Good book
Greenblatt is a superb value investor. The magic formula is not the pinnacle of good value investing but it is a better option than an index fund or most active funds for most investors. There are also good lessons in the book for everyone.

I liked the book
What did you like most about The Little Book That Still Beats the Market?
This book has a PDF - my favorite part.
Also the author explains one type of investing strategy very easily, so that even children would understand. I liked the book. It is very fun to listen to, not boring as many others.

good but not great
some key factors to consider when investing were mentioned. repeatedly promote the magic formula and directing listeners to their website, which by the way looks like it hasn't been updated since 1998

One of the best stock investment books
Loved the book from both content and narration points of view.
The book provides a basic understanding of stock investment in an easy to understand manner before introduction and explanation of the 'magic formula', with the author providing information on the benefits and flaws of the formula (based on extensive research over a number of years) and how to best to get market-beating return using the formula.

An OK introduction to value investing.
This book is a light-heated summery of Benjamin Graham's methods for long-term investments in corporate equities. It's clearly designed for absolute beginners, and has plenty of Greenblatt's sense of humor.
It was a bit too basic and short on details for my taste. But if you're totally new to the field, it'll probably do the job in a more fun way than many beginners stocks books out there.
Narrator is fine

Sell sell sell about magic formula!
Simple but a commonsense good concept I.e. buy good companies at cheaper prices. The book could have been sumed up in fee chapters rather than making it 18 chapters long. Some of the chapters are unnecessarily elongated 😞

not what it seems
feels like a 2 hour sales pitch into something the author even states doesn't work for quite a while.

Oh yes!!! This is the one
Oh yes!!! This is the one
You’ve just got to get this book and follow through.
If you’ve never believed in anything before, you will, just don’t be afraid and see it through even if you just make it to 3 years.
No need for good luck, the luck is done for you, so in advance, well done you’re in the game (money).
