I recently read The Little Book that Beat the Market by Joel Greenblatt. I had heard a lot about the book and finally got around to getting through it. It had some good insight and discussed “the formula” – in fact, he has a web site called Magic Forumla Investing that will give you a listing of companies that meet the criteria for free. You list the minimum market capitalization that you are interested in, and out come the companies. I did wonder how it would work if everyone used it, but as the book states, it is a long term strategy and most people can’t stick to it, since there can be extended periods of down time. Anyway, it’s worth a look.
I read a post recently (I can’t remember where, but it might be from Lifehacker) about a new site that provides access to lots of legal forms, forums and related information. They consolidated legal information from a bunch of different sites, including sites specific to states and niche areas. Check out The Public Library of Law.
I heard about this on Diggnation‘s podcast and it is hilarious. Turn up your volume (but not too loud). It’s NSFW. It’s a take on what the animals are saying throughout the filming of BBC’s Planet Earth.
