Key takeaways

  • This is the September 2010 updated edition.
  • The formula is a ranking method, not a trading setup.
  • Backtests in the book are not a future return.
Wiley dates ISBN 978-0-470-62415-9 to September 2010, 208 pages, with a foreword by Andrew Tobias. This is the edition with a new introduction and afterword, not the earlier Little Book That Beats the Market. The formula ranks companies by cheapness and returns on capital. Greenblatt reports how that ranking behaved in his tests, including a rough period. A historical ranking is not a law, and a reader who buys the list still has to decide size, taxes, and what to do when the formula lags. ChartClub does not adopt the title's claim as established fact. There is no Investing category. The record sits with process, and value-investing stays a tag.
