Item Description
Contrary to efficient-market naysayers, this engaging investment primer contends that ordinary stock-market investors can indeed get better-than-market returns over the long haul. Greenblatt (You Can Be a Stock Market Genius), a Columbia Business School adjunct professor, touts a "value-oriented" approach that looks for bargain stocks whose share price is cheap relative to the company's profitability. His version is a "magic formula" that ranks stocks on the basis of two variables—the earnings yield and the business's return on capital. His Web site, magicformulainvesting.com, virtually automates the procedure for novices. Greenblatt offers lots of statistical proof of the formula's success, but emphasizes the importance of faith in seeing the investor through inevitable short-term downturns: "It will be your belief in the overwhelming logic of the magic formula that will make the formula work for you in the long run." He conveys his ideas through a lucid if rudimentary and rather corny explanation of basic investment concepts about risk, return, interest and business valuation. Although the fabulous returns he touts seem too good to be true, Greenblatt's formula is a reasonable variant of mainstream value-investing methods. Investors seeking a little more hands-on excitement than the average mutual fund offers won't go too far wrong following his advice. (Jan.) Copyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved. --This text refers to the Hardcover edition. A Wharton-trained head of a successful investment partnership has a foolproof method for evaluating stocks: Companies are worth what they return to investors on a consistent basis. Trusting yourself to use this simple principle will work much better than any get-rich schemes, and much better than trusting other people to select stocks for you. The method requires some digging into a stock's fundamentals, understanding risk factors, and paying close attention to timing when buying and selling. An enhanced CD contains printable details of the author's "magic formula" for evaluating stocks. Adam Grupper does well with this material, projecting confidence and using vocal tones and pacing that are enjoyable for the entire program.
