What Works on Wall Street

byJim O'Shaughnessy

Jim O'Shaughnessy uses long-run market data to test which stock-selection strategies have historically delivered superior risk-adjusted results. He compares measures such as valuation, earnings growth, market capitalization, price momentum, and shareholder yield, showing how disciplined rules can outperform intuition and fashionable stories. The book also demonstrates why strategies can fail over shorter periods and why consistency is essential to capturing their potential. Its evidence-based approach gives investors a framework for evaluating market claims, combining multiple factors, and resisting emotional decisions driven by recent performance.
