Pros & Cons
Pros
Great book and really actionable ideas. Nobody thinks about the actual digging-insert shovel, step on shovel, fling dirt over shoulder- when a little treasure is on the line.
Joel greenblatt presents a classic on identifying, analyzing, and trading stocks. His writing is clear and concise. He masterfully explains his frameworks for spotting and assessing investing opportunities.
Great examples of great investment lessons to learn that apply not only to stocks, but real estate, bonds or any other asset. Very unique way of thinking about investing.
Cons
The paperbook format of this book was published in 1999; as there is no evidence of this being a revised/updated/newer version, the kindle version has the same material. Imho, the information is quite dated. The book is extremely lightweight.
Greenblatt's gotham fund(s) is/are nothing more than heavily diversifed stock funds. There are a couple of good points for the stockmarket newbie, but i found most of the book impractical. For the beginning investor, look elsewhere.
