The Little Book that Beats the Market - Joel Greenblatt

I was reading this book - The Little Book that Beats the Market by Joel Greenblatt on the metro and could not help wonder how nice it would have been if I could have read the first few chapters when I was a teenager. These chapters give a very lay man's view of the basis of the stock market and theoretically why a company's stock goes up or down. I recommend the initial chapters to all middle school kids! These days schools might have good exposure to the stock market but in our days, especially in India, where I grew up, nothing!

Rest of the book is fine, just that it is not my cup of tea.

Cheers!
Lazy.
