The author of this book, Joel Greenblatt, has penned down the insights that he gained from his own experiences as a stock market investor. In this book, the author discusses the advantages that individual investors have over professional money managers, and the ways by which those advantages can be leveraged to their maximum potential.

According to the author, individual investors are able to perform focussed investing and don’t need to maintain a unnecessary portfolio of numerous stocks like money managers. Because there are no time restraints that money managers usually have to deal with, individual investors can go ahead and evaluate their stocks over longer periods of time.

The author emphasises the importance of investing in spin-offs, which are usually those firms that branch out from the parent organisation.
