Idea Man

About 6 months ago a relative turned me onto a book by Joel Greenblatt titled “The Little Book that Beats the Market”. The book is short and is a quick read and is pretty informative for people like me with no educational background in finance (and no willingness to spend hours a day pouring over statistical information…. I’ve got better things to do with my time). I would suggest the book to anyone that wants to put some money aside for the long term, doesn’t want to spend hours a day tweaking their investments, and doesn’t flip out with the ups and downs of the market. I threw some money at this back about 6 months ago and it feels good to have a plan outside of my 403B and IRAs. The book is $20 but you might be able to find it used on Amazon or somewhere else for less.
