To make sense of business and investing, learn to combine statistics with stories.
Recommendation
Numbers are nothing without a story, and a story needs numbers to back it up. So says New York University finance professor Aswath Damodaran in this illuminating guide to valuing companies. He offers step-by-step instructions on figuring out how much you should pay for shares in Amazon, Uber or any other enterprise. Damodaran provides an intriguing, insightful look into combining number crunching with storytelling. While never giving investment advice, getAbstract recommends his manual to investors and managers seeking to master the use of storytelling in investing.
