What Works on Wall Street

James P. O'Shaughnessy
Published: 2005
"What Works on Wall Street" is a comprehensive guide to investing in the stock market written by James P. O'Shaughnessy. The book offers a systematic, quantitative approach to stock selection and portfolio management based on a thorough examination of historical stock market data. O'Shaughnessy argues that the key to successful investing is to identify and invest in companies that have a strong track record of performance and are likely to continue to perform well in the future. The book is divided into two parts, the first of which provides an overview of the stock market and O'Shaughnessy's investment philosophy. He explains how he uses historical market data to identify patterns and trends, and how these patterns can be used to identify companies that are likely to perform well in the future. He also explains the importance of diversifying one's portfolio and the role of risk management in investing. The second part of the book provides detailed explanations of the various investment strategies that O'Shaughnessy recommends. These include strategies such as value investing, growth investing, and dividend investing. He explains how to use different measures such as price-to-earnings ratios and dividend yields to identify companies that are undervalued or overvalued. He also explains how to use momentum and relative strength to identify companies that are likely to continue to perform well in the future. Throughout the book, O'Shaughnessy emphasizes the importance of using a systematic, quantitative approach to investing. He argues that this approach is the key to identifying companies that are likely to perform well in the future, and that it can be used to build a diversified portfolio that is designed to minimize risk and maximize returns. He provides detailed explanations of the methods he uses and many examples of how they have been applied successfully in the past.
