You Can Be A Stock Market Genius

byJoel Greenblatt

Investor Joel Greenblatt explains how individual investors can find opportunity in corporate events that receive less attention than ordinary stock selection. He examines spinoffs, mergers, restructurings, bankruptcies, recapitalizations, rights offerings, and other special situations where complexity or forced selling may create mispricing. Through case studies and straightforward analysis, Greenblatt shows how to read filings, identify incentives, and evaluate downside risk. Despite its playful title, the book rejects shortcuts and market prediction; its approach depends on focused research, patience, and situations where a smaller investor can benefit from work that large institutions are unwilling or unable to perform.
