This is a book for all value investors. Joel Greenblatt is an experienced manager whose fund has averaged 40 per cent per year over 20 years.

Joel comes from the Benjamin Graham school of investing and takes the ease of value investing one step further. The reader learns that the existence of a single formula to select good companies at bargain prices isn’t new, as Ben Graham bought companies close to their net asset value. Like Ben Graham, Joel believes the market,...

The Next Great Bubble Boom is principally a book about cycles. This is not Harry Dent’s first book. He has published others, with reasonable accuracy. One, in the late 1980s – when everyone else was buying – forecast the decline of the Japanese economy, and hence its share and real estate markets. Time has proven him correct. He uses the same type of demographic technique to support his view that North America is about to experience conditions similar to the roaring twenties. Harry is no shrinking violet with his forecasts, predicting the Dow Jones Industrial Index will...
