In a net shell, he is promoting a strategy he calls "Magic Formula Investing". Building on the time-tested strategies of Ben Graham and Warren Buffet, Joel tells us to invest in companies that return very high return on capital AND high profit per share.

The author is really humorous as well! Seriously sounds like he’s messing around with their kids while teaching them some important things, and thereby, the book wouldn’t feel boring at any point in time. I highly appreciate the author’s funny narration, and it genuinely does seem like the book and the formula taught in the book are extremely valuable and helpful if one is willing to be patient.

It’s sometimes a bit confusing that solid investing can be so simple. But this book, and all the statistics and historical data within it, show us that simple really can lead to great results. And results are all that matters in investing — not the level of difficulty or complexity of one's approach. I tillegg er første del av boka litt dryg hvis man kjenner prinsippene rundt aksjehandel og markedspsykologien sånn noenlunde. Det er som å være ferdig med grunnskolen, og plutselig skal du tilbake til å høre på "Per har to epler. Så får han et eple til" osv.Me parece un buen libro de iniciación al análisis empresarial, para alguien que no sabe nada de como estudiar la situación de una empresa me parece ideal. After some digging, I found that Joel has his own mutual fund with holdings chosen using the Magic Formula: https://www.google.com/finance?q=MUTF...

As the title hints, this one is centered around a set of simple strategies (called the “magic formula”) that helps investors beat the market. The author pulls no punches here — he readily admits the pros and cons of such a strategy and invites readers to try their hand at it, despite the fact that it doesn’t necessarily win all the time. Negativt: en tredjedel uti boka var jeg lut lei av å høre de tre ordene "the magic formula". Halvveis uti boka var de tre ordene mitt personlige Vietnam, og mot slutten hadde jeg mer lyst til å hoppe utfor verandaen enn å høre de tre ordene én gang til. Jeg har ikke holdt tellinga, men min indre Lilli Bendriss sier meg at de tre ordene er nevnt ca. 4568 ganger ila. boka.I read this book after reading 'the intelligent investor', and had to get used to the simplicity in which this book is told. At first I liked it, because it is almost straight forward what he is telling, but it gets kind of annoying at the second half of the book. Forfatter kunne også spart seg for tiraden mot kvaliteten på det amerikanske skolesystemet og hva som kan gjøres for å bedre det. Det kommer litt utav det blå, og burde vært hagesakset ut.
