Hidden treasure in the 1998 value portfolio
Article Abstract:
A value approach to investing focuses on companies that have a healthy balance sheet, and this approach used by the Investors Chronicle performed better than the FTSE All-Share index in 1997. The suggested portfolio for 1998 includes Hartstone, which has cut $10 million from its US overheads and has a 35 milliom pounds sterling stock market value. Mid-States is another selection and it appears cheap in relation to a 10 million pounds sterling market capitalization. Other selections for 1998 include Eyecare and Partridge.

Hanging on to the coat-tails of the sage of Omaha
Article Abstract:
Warren Buffet has moved into bonds and this could prompt investors to follow his lead and move away from equities. Larger companies are not likely to see major price rises, but smaller companies could still perform well. There is greater volatility in US stock prices in 1997 than previously. Investors seeking to buy stocks in 1997 will not benefit from previous rises, but can still find opportunities with smaller firms where good value is available, many analysts argue.

Building a global portfolio
Article Abstract:
UK investors can spread their risks by investing overseas, and there may bemore opportunity for capital growth. There are also risks involved with such investments such as currency risks, lack of information on distant markets and greater expense in dealing. Small investors are best advised to use investment trusts and unit trusts. Larger investors who have more than 5,000 pounds sterling to invest may find that investing abroad is becoming easier.
