Finance ✦ Penny’s Take
Valuing Wall Street
Andrew Smithers · 2002
82/100
👍 Worth It
A rare and courageous book that put hard data behind a contrarian call and turned out to be right. The q ratio framework is explained clearly enough for informed general readers, and the historical track record speaks for itself. If you want to understand market-wide valuation rather than stock picking, this is one of the most credible voices in the room.
