hey he markets over the past months have taken twists and turns that you may have never seen coming investors are beginning to question their strategies and thinking about what can provide them with an edge over the market but in all this turmoil perhaps it's time to go back to the basics which is the topic of today's video on the little book that beats the market by joel greenblatt the book is simple and easy to digest and yet very powerful when it comes to value investing and stock picking greenblatt's account of how to beat the market is a refreshing read and considering today's time where everything is crashing it may be well worth revisiting some time-tested principles so without further delay let's dive in joel greenblatt is a founder of the gotham funds he's made millions from the stock market and taught about investing in the top universities he wrote this book as a way of educating his children in 2005.
greenblatt believed that if he can reduce complex investing knowledge into simple principles that even kids can understand then he can share his secrets of success in the stock market with anyone greenblatt has a stellar track record and has consistently beaten the market for over 25 years now let's get to our top three takeaways take away one no one can teach you to beat the market the first insight from the book is strikingly shocking he says that no one can chew to beat the market in his 30 years of experience and 14 years of teaching the principles of value investing greenblatt came to the conclusion that beating the market not something ordinary and it cannot be taught but can only be experienced he believes that only you can teach yourself how to beat the market and that starts with reading books that provide sound investment advice in his own words greenblatt says the stock market is an opportunity factory it's a place where you can buy a business for a lot less than it's worth or you can sell a business for a lot more than it's worth or you can overpay and undersell if you want to become an out player then following conventional standard advice will not help you greenblatt's magic formula which is based on certain principles can consistently provide the results that you're looking for takeaway 2 the magic formula so what is the magic formula it's a pretty easy to understand rules-based investing strategy that relies more on financial discipline than financial engineering the magic formula provides the handrails to help find good investments even if the person does not know exactly what they're doing however knowing what they're doing is important because in greenblatt's words although in the short term mr market bases its prices on emotions in the long term mr market prices according to value if you want the magic formula to work for you you have to take out the emotional part of yourself and go through the strategy even when things are not looking so good so how does this magic formula work greenblatt uses two financial ratios to present the formula the first earnings yield is related to earnings per share divided by current stock price and second return on capital is related to earnings produced divided by capital used once you have these two ratios all you need to do is to rank your stocks and calculate their combined ranks the stocks with the highest combined number are likely better investments greenblatt believes with this simple formula you're on your way to buying good companies on average and cheap prices on average takeaway three stay the course greenblatt believes that in the short term the market is not predictable and often based on emotions coming from the news media that you have no control over in his own words mr market is manic depressive in the short term you can buy and sell stocks at crazy prices over the long term mr market eventually gets it right it's the short term that gets people in trouble so having a long term view on investments is likely to pay off better greenblatt advises that you stick with your strategy for two to three years to get above average returns this takes a strong mindset and a strong stomach follow the discipline to stay the course and not to sell until your long-term goals have been achieved also this is why it is key to understand what you own if you don't know what you own you may be tempted to sell when things are going down greenblatt summarizes this very well by saying choosing individual stocks without any idea of what you're looking for is like running through a dynamite factory with a burning matchstick you may live but you're still an idiot all right everyone that's it from us i hope you enjoyed these insights from the book thanks for watching and don't forget to
