 Great read August 26, 2010
Daniel Neeley (HOT SPRINGS NATIONAL PARK, ARKANSAS, US)
The author made learning of the dark corners of profit fun and easy. Can't wait to give some of the suggestions a try.
Good Primer for Special Situation Investing July 12, 2010
Thomas A. Sobieck (Columbia, MO)
Don't let the dorky name fool you, this book is an very good introduction to Special Situation Investing. I could not put this book down. Greenblatt has a very entertaining voice that adds to the already interesting subject material. The book is written with the idea that anyone could pick it up and maybe learn something about value investing, but it also contains reams of information that would be useful to most any experienced investor with a value perspective. Greenblatt certainly gives you perspective as to where value is frequently found, and how an investor can take advantage of inefficiencies in the market.

This book is obviously a STOLEN library book.... It has all the markings of a library....
The book was a great read....
Too bad for the other people who went to check it out only to find someone took it and sold it on the internet....

Some of the other reviewers are right in saying this is an old and slightly out of date book. But it is such a good book, and it is very readable. I would love for the author to write a second edition. I dislike books that don't have a lot of references, and while this author has a few, the references I was hoping to get were ones that lead to further reading to understand how he arrives at his conclusion. Continually throughout the book he tells you that he is not covering the complex stuff for simplicity, and that is fine, but I would like to go over some of those fine details or at least reading material that teaches me how to go over those fine details,
Every section would require vastly more knowledge than was given in order to apply in real life. A second edition is really needed. But in the end I was very happy to have read this book. A word to the average investor out there though, this book is meant only for full time investors...........people who spend less than an hour or two every week on their investments should not even bother with this book. This book was not meant for the career orientated, don't have time for much type of person.
