According to @QCompounding, legendary value investor Walter Schloss achieved a 21% annual return over 47 years, and the account shared a 65-page PDF that teaches his approach to outperforming the market (source: @QCompounding). According to @QCompounding, a 21% compound annual growth rate over 47 years implies that USD 1 would grow to roughly USD 5,260, highlighting the power of long-horizon compounding for disciplined traders (calculation based on the 21% figure reported by @QCompounding). According to Warren E. Buffett’s 1984 essay The Superinvestors of Graham-and-Doddsville, Schloss’s long-term outperformance versus the market is historically documented, reinforcing the trading value of simple, rules-based value selection and patience (source: Warren E. Buffett, 1984).

According to @QCompounding, Joel Greenblatt’s Magic Formula is a simple, disciplined way to find good companies at great prices by targeting high return on capital and high earnings yield for portfolio selection; this aligns with the book’s framework for systematically ranking and buying quality value stocks. Source: @QCompounding. The book defines return on capital as EBIT divided by tangible capital and earnings yield as EBIT divided by enterprise value, ranks stocks on both metrics, buys a basket of roughly 20–30 top-ranked names, and rebalances about annually to maintain exposure to high-quality, attractively priced stocks. Source: Joel Greenblatt, The Little Book That Still Beats the Market (2010 revised edition). Greenblatt’s implementation uses clear screening rules with basic liquidity and market-cap filters and excludes sectors with atypical accounting (e.g., many financials and utilities), making the approach executable as a periodic rebalance across a defined equity universe.

According to @QCompounding, Chapter 20 of Benjamin Graham’s The Intelligent Investor on Margin of Safety is being shared for free today, spotlighting a core risk-management principle relevant to trading decisions and entry discipline (source: @QCompounding). Graham makes Margin of Safety the central concept of sound investing, urging investors to buy only when there is a clear discount to a conservatively estimated intrinsic value to protect against valuation errors and unforeseen shocks (source: Benjamin Graham, The Intelligent Investor, Chapter 20). He emphasizes practical safeguards—such as insisting on adequate earnings and asset coverage and maintaining diversification—to reduce drawdown risk and improve risk-adjusted outcomes, guidelines traders can adapt to position sizing and timing in volatile markets (source: Benjamin Graham, The Intelligent Investor, Chapter 20).

According to @QCompounding, Joel Greenblatt averaged about 40% annual returns for over 20 years and shared the method in The Little Book That Still Beats the Market. Source: @QCompounding on X, Nov 17, 2025. The Magic Formula ranks stocks by earnings yield (EBIT divided by enterprise value) and return on capital (EBIT divided by net working capital plus net fixed assets), then buys a basket of the highest combined ranks. Source: Joel Greenblatt, The Little Book That Still Beats the Market, revised edition 2010. Implementation in the book calls for buying 20 to 30 stocks spaced across 12 months, holding roughly one year for tax efficiency, equal-weighting positions, and rebalancing annually as ranks change.

The universe excludes financials and utilities due to accounting differences, applies a minimum market cap to avoid very small illiquid names, uses pre-tax EBIT, and computes enterprise value including debt and cash.

Actionable takeaway: build a screener that ranks by percentile of EBIT/EV and return on capital, selects the top 20 to 30 names, staggers entries monthly, and rebalances annually while accounting for slippage and taxes.
