Many investors, including some with substantial portfolios, have only the sketchiest idea of how the stock market works. The reason, say Lynch and Rothchild, is that the basics of investing aren't taught in school. At a time when individuals have to make important decisions about saving for college and 401(k) retirement funds, this failure to provide a basic education in investing can have tragic consequences.

Charlie Munger, Berkshire Hathaway's visionary vice chairman and Warren Buffett's indispensable financial partner, has outperformed market indexes again and again, and he believes any investor can do the same. His notion of "elementary, worldly wisdom" - a set of interdisciplinary mental models involving economics, business, psychology, ethics, and management - allows him to keep his emotions out of his investments and avoid the common pitfalls of bad judgment.

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.

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

Narrated extremely well. Please to listen to. Will the technique work? Well, I guess I can’t say as a I haven’t done it, but the book has some really fantastic references in it and I’m sure people would do well to keep reading every book in the library on this topic so as to round off the skills that this book and many others like it are written to improve and teach I would recommend it completely. At 5 hours, it is well worth the commitment

Simple rules for finding good investments
What made the experience of listening to The Little Book That Still Beats the Market the most enjoyable?
I like the simplicity and clarity in wading thru so much noise in investing to find what you need to select some good investments (using stock screeners, it makes it even easier). Warning: Does require patience, and I have not used this system to know how well it works... but Joel Greenblatt has a good reputation as a very good investor.
