According to @QCompounding, Joel Greenblatt averaged 40% annual returns for over 20 years and attributes the performance to his rules-based Magic Formula detailed in The Little Book That Still Beats the Market (source: @QCompounding on X, Oct 4, 2025; source: Joel Greenblatt, The Little Book That Still Beats the Market). The strategy ranks equities by high earnings yield (EBIT/Enterprise Value) and high return on capital (EBIT divided by net working capital plus net fixed assets), buys roughly 20–30 top-ranked stocks with annual rebalancing while avoiding most financials/utilities and very small caps, and is designed for stock selection rather than crypto assets, implying no direct BTC or ETH impact from this post (source: Joel Greenblatt, The Little Book That Still Beats the Market; source: @QCompounding on X, Oct 4, 2025).

According to @mjmauboussin, the Magic Formula investing strategy focuses on selecting stocks with high Return on Capital and strong Earnings Yield, providing a systematic approach to identify quality and undervalued companies. Traders can apply this by ranking all companies on these metrics, buying the top 20–30, and rebalancing annually. This quantitative method is increasingly relevant to crypto traders seeking diversified exposure or adapting similar ranking models to digital assets, which may enhance portfolio performance in volatile markets (source: @mjmauboussin, Magic Formula Investing).
