How many stocks fall into Roger Montgomery’s A1 basket?
Origin Energy is trading above value, Oil Search at almost double its value and with a 2012 value of $6.37, Toll is not only mediocre, but also expensive. As for selling out of Wesfarmers to buy into RIO, Roger compares that plan to be like jumping from the fry pan into the fire! In his appearance with Nina May on Your Money Your Call Roger also reveals that of the 1874 businesses listed on the ASX only 600 make a profit, and for him, a tiny 23 fall into his ‘A1’ category of wonderful businesses. Watch the interview.
