    About this audiobook

    In The Big Secret for the Small Investor, bestselling author Joel Greenblatt explains to everyday investors how to value a business, and why the small investor has an inherent edge over the big investment firms that have to show results month by month, quarter by quarter, year by year. Greenblatt then goes on to point out four to five options for small investors on how to take advantage of that edge.

      Concise review of market cap weighted index funds methodology and explanation of value (or fundamental) weighing methodology. The central idea is that the market cap index buys too many overpriced stocks and not enough value stocks. This hurts performance in the long run.

      Not really a "how-to" conclusion, but enough information to understand the big secret and continue research on your own. An important point to understand is that value investing is a long term perspective and requires more than a single day/month/quarter/year timeline. So it is appropriate to an individual investor that understands the long term roller coaster cycle of fear & greed of Mr. Market.

      This has been a excellent Stock market book. I have learnt a lot of knowledge and tips . Highly recommended.
    • 3/5
      This book confused me and I wasn't sure how to rate it. It gives you good insights on what to avoid, when looking for investments and on the other hand it tells you the secret of finding stock market gems. However, the letter is briefly mentioned and not analyzed. It tries to explain how to find value stocks. It was small and proved to be a good companion to strengthen your knowledge
