Reduces stock picking to two questions: is the business good, and is it cheap. Short, and unusually clear on why the two must go together.

The highlights
What this book actually gives you, in short.
- 1
Reduces stock picking to two measurable questions: does the business earn a high return on capital, and is it cheap relative to earnings.
- 2
Ranks the whole market on both measures and buys the best combined scores, which removes most of the guessing.
- 3
Is candid that the method underperforms for years at a stretch, and that this is exactly why it keeps working.
