Finance ✦ Penny’s Take 🎧 Audiobook
You Can Be a Stock Market Genius
Joel Greenblatt · 2018
🎙 Narrated by Jonathan Todd Ross
88/100
👍 Worth It
A genuine value-investing classic - Greenblatt breaks down spin-offs, mergers, and special situations in plain language backed by his own hedge fund track record, and it still holds up decades later. It's a notch more technical than a first finance book, but the professional Simon & Schuster narration makes it a well-produced, worthwhile listen.
