Finding investment's secret formula
Article Abstract:
It has proved very difficult to find a reliable formula for successful investment in shares, as past performance does not give any real indication about future returns. However, formula-based investment is still attracting considerable attention. Many investors are particularly interested in the O'Higgins method, which is based on the assumption that cheap, high-yielding stocks must be temporarily unpopular with the market. There is also some interest in the use of price earnings growth factors to pick stocks.

Another quest for the corporate grail

The UK government has set up a committee to examine corporate governance. The Committee on Corporate Governance has Ronald Hampel as its chairman. Issues to be tackled include the weight of regulations for small firms. The responsibilities of large shareholders, and the structure of boards also need to be examined. Annual shareholders' meetings are a controversial topic, as is the role of auditors and their relationship with shareholders.
