Behind The Idea #86: You Can Be A Stock Market Genius, Pt. 2
We continue our discussion of Joel Greenblatt's classic book, You Can Be A Stock Market Genius, with a focus on chapters 3 and 4.Chapters 3 and 4 of the book are the ones everyone remembers, especially re: spin-offs.

We break that down as well as risk arbitrage and merger securities. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
