Wall Street Revalued by Andrew Smithers
In 2000 one of the world's foremost economists, Andrew Smithers, showed that the US stock market was widely over-priced at its peak and correctly advised investors to sell. He also argued that central bankers should adjust their policies not only in light of expected inflation but also if stock prices reach excessive levels.
"..an economist with a good record in identifying bubbles...provides evidence" (Financial Times, August 5th 2009) "Mr Smithers makes his case convincingly, dismissing alternative indicators of valuation, such as the dividend yield, along the way" (The Economist, August 14th 2009) ‘…an interesting book with many challengers to conventional thought.' (TheActuary.org.uk, June 2010). ‘ …excellent book…' (Fool.co.uk, August 2010).
