New Video: V4. The P/Book Ratio

In this fourth video on valuation, the P/Book ratio is discussed. Like all of the valuation methods, it has advantages and limitations - and perhaps more importantly, times when it might be relevant and times when less so - more for companies that have tangible book values that can be determined and where the assets are more tangible and relevant to the companies productive capacity ultimately, less so for companies where the book value does not capture value such as goodwill or a brand that might also not be reflected in the balance sheet.
