Welcome back to our new podcast series Vox Screens Stocks featuring John Hughman, previous Editor of Investors Chronicle & now head of content at Vox Markets and the voice of Vox Justin Waite.  There are lots of ways of finding investment opportunities, but one of the most fruitful is to start your search by crunching stock market data. With thousands of listed companies, using tools to filter for certain financial characteristics can whittle the market down to a manageable number that you can use to focus your research efforts. Each week we'll use a variety of stock screening approaches to come up with a list of stocks which fit the criteria of this week's stock screener, then John & Justin will pick a stock from the list, explain what they like about it. This week we are looking for companies with pricing power, which should prove more adept at maintaining their prices – or raising them – to offset the input cost increases that come with an inflationary environment, and where economic problems could put the squeeze on spending by consumers and companies.  Traditionally, pricing power has rested with those companies that sell so-called ‘non-discretionary' items such as food – in other words, products we can't live without. But the current economic backdrop means such rules of thumb don't necessarily hold true right now. Unilever, for example, has struggled to maintain margins in recent years and earnings are expected to slip next year as volumes take a hit as consumers trade down to own-label products.     There's no single metric we can use to identify such companies, but the stability of margins and earnings is a good proxy, along with a few indicators of quality. We've run our screen using the following criteria: Operating margin above 15% Positive 5-year average operating margin Forecast PE of less then 25 Positive forecast EPS growth Positive 5-year average EPS growth Return on equity – a measure which demonstrates a company's ability to generate profit from its assets - greater than 15 I've also included operating cash conversion in the column to show how effective a company is at turning its profits into all-important cash. A rule of thumb is that a rate above 90% is good, but all results bar one – Somero – managed a ratio above 100%.  You should also look at the numbers in the context of recent commentary from the company, particularly the latest outlook statements. Always remember, numbers alone can mislead - stock screens are a starting point for further research. See the full screen CLICK HERE John's Pick: Games Workshop GAW | manufacturer and retailer of the Warhammer model miniature series Games Workshop's shares enjoyed a meteoric rise but have halved in the last six months or so as rising inflation has eaten away at the value of the most highly-rated shares. But that leaves the shares much more attractively priced, and while growth has moderated from the lockdown boost – and profits have been held back by higher input and distribution costs  trading does appear to be holding steady, no mean feat given the economic backdrop and testament to the loyalty of its customer base. It's invested heavily in capacity and headcount, and royalty income from licensing deals is starting to grow quickly.  ustin's Pick: Future FUTR | a leading publisher of specialist magazines and content  Like Games Workshop, Future's shares enjoyed a stellar run only to fall back sharply again as the market entered a downturn. But once again, that offers a much better entry point into what is rapidly becoming one of the largest specialist media companies in the world, with content that it boasts reaches 1 in 3 adults online in the UK and US. It's been highly acquisitive, but debt remains manageable and the dealmaking has brought it scale which enables it to benefit from significant operational leverage is it continues its digital transition. 

This is the second episode in a new podcast series Vox Screens Stocks featuring John Hughman, previous Editor of Investors Chronicle & now head of content at Vox Markets and the voice of Vox Justin Waite. This week we are looking at safe dividend paying companies.

Each week we'll use a variety of stock screening approaches to come up with a list of stocks which fit the criteria of this week's stock screener, then John & Justin will pick a stock from the list, explain what they like about it. There are countless ways of screening stocks and this week we are looking at safe dividend paying companies. John's Pick: Devro #DVO one of the world's leading manufacturers of collagen products for the food industry, Justin's Pick: Taylor Wimpey #TW. a customer-focused homebuilder operating at a local level from 23 regional businesses across the UK. Other Stocks mentioned: Ibstock #IBST Norcross #NXR

With so many investing options out there, getting the right balance for your portfolio can be difficult. So this week presenter Claer Barrett has invited two listeners in for a portfolio makeover. Thirty-seven-year-old James holds UK-focused equities in his stocks and shares Isa. He was doing well, but market movements and rising inflation have made him think he might need to diversify. Thirty-four-year-old Gillian has taken a different approach, investing as much as she can into her company pension. However, she hasn't paid much attention to what her pension is actually invested in.Investment experts Rosie Carr, editor of the Investors Chronicle, and Russ Mould, investment director at AJ Bell, give their views on how James and Gillian can get the best out of their investments. Tips include how investors can manage the threat of rising inflation, different ways of approaching asset allocation and building a diversified portfolio.If you want to hear more about how to get started on your investment journey, try this episode of Money Clinic: https://www.ft.com/content/e035ebf1-a9ff-4057-a1bb-591f2be296e4Want to talk to Claer on the show?

The trimming or cancelling of dividends in the UK is incredibly significant. With income expected to be significantly lower in 2020 than it was in 2019, a reader’s letter has highlighted how stark the situation is for some private investors. He said: “40 per cent of my retirement income comes from shares.”At a time like this, it’s hard to know where to turn. On this week’s podcast Megan Boxall and John Hughman are joined by Algy Hall, Dave Baxter and Nilushi Karunaratne to discuss the situation and help explain how investors can best cope with the income carnage of the past few months.We’ve also covered the outlook for income extensively in the magazine this week.

  PetroTal announced third-quarter results and an operations update. The good news is that current field production reached a new record with the last 30-days averaging over 8,500 barrels of oil per day, with all five oil wells online. The bad news is that the cash and cash equivalents amount of approximately $40 million stated in the company's RNS dated 21 October was incorrect. The company's actual cash and cash equivalents position as at 30 September was $20.5 million. The CEO, who would have reviewed and signed off the document, surely would have known the company's cash balance, so he's either sloppy or deliberately let the mistake slip through. Either scenario, unfortunately, places a question mark over the accuracy of the company's reporting and creates doubt. I highlighted this at 16p, so there's around a 50% profit to take. Petrel Resources reminded shareholders of the upcoming Extraordinary General Meeting which takes place tomorrow in Dublin to approve the issue of new shares to private equity investors and friends and business acquaintances of the new control parties. It is then anticipated that a flow of potential investment proposals will be offered to the company. I suggested Petrel numerous times around 1p earlier this year and it closed at 7p yesterday, up 600%. There are more shares with this sort of potential in the private blog. Sound Energy announced the approval of the Environmental Impact Assessment for a 2D seismic acquisition programme within their permits. The directors' hearts simply aren't in this. None of their names is stated anymore in the RNS and the only contact for the company is questions@soundenergyplc.com (mailto:questions@soundenergyplc.com) . I've been calling this down since last year when the share price was over 10 times higher, but it still has a market cap of nearly £40 million and plenty of room to fall further. Some of these companies have been making me think further, particularly about their adverse impact on investors. Looking at social media these days, it appears a lot of people are losing a lot of money and I think it might be helpful to examine why and ask whether that actually has to be the case. Going back in time, prior to the arrival of the Internet, it cost over £10,000 a year to have access to all the information which everyone has available now online for free and, unfortunately, it does not appear this advance has helped most private investors. Their information sources then broadly were daily and Sunday newspapers, weekly magazines such as the Investors Chronicle, and tip sheets which were sent out by post on a weekly, fortnightly or monthly basis. Virtually all this material was professionally written by financial journalists and, although it was the only information source available to most private investors, at least in the main it was factual. While these traditional information sources still exist, most investors now either access the source data directly or receive an account of it from others. In doing so, they run the risk of either misinterpreting the information themselves or having the information misinterpreted to them. And that's the charitable case where no one's actively misrepresenting it, which is often the situation these days. While some private investors have developed their own mastery of the market, with the majority it appears to be the blind leading the blind, with the occasional shepherd leading his sheep to the slaughter. There is no doubt from their own comments that many are losing money - and some are losing a lot. What should be the benefit of full and equal access to information ironically has turned out to be a disadvantage for many. Another route to grief is the idea that has sprouted up that anyone can earn their living just trading the market. Of course, a few can, but they are the exception; the rest of the would-be professional traders fail primarily due to ignorance, laziness, greed, lack of market awareness, gullibility and fear of missing out, effectively a desire to be in everything. There are a number of serious investors, who have a steady approach and overall reap rewards. Unfortunately, the majority, having their attention drawn towards hundreds of generally poor quality companies every day, simply can not see the wood for the trees. A further problem is that accurate comments on social media get buried under the pile of nonsense being posted. Many are all over the place, some buying a different share every day and each time crystallising additional losses due both to their lack of patience and their lack of conviction. Some that do hold, think their shares are like football teams and support them tribally. Buying the shares that are being most actively promoted, they constantly get hurt by placings, which have been forward sold with guaranteed profit for insiders and virtually guaranteed losses for them. One of the most important lessons is that it is not just about the shares you buy, even more importantly it's about the shares you don't buy. You need to control yourself and go only for the certainties, the small number of winners each year that are virtually guaranteed. If you see value or advantage in receiving a large number of tips then you probably can't be helped. My approach is to take one sector of the stock market and master it, an area which you have experience of from your working life or have a genuine interest in is best. Have absolute conviction in what you buy and hold, and if you don't have absolute conviction, don't buy it. Understand why you're buying it now and when you're going to sell it - and, critically, where that company is in its operational, financing and promotional cycle. If you're looking for a short-term trade, then the company needs to be heading for an event. Most importantly, only buy when you're absolutely certain and don't let it bother you if you miss a few. Always realise gains and de-risk. And position size so that even if it goes to zero it doesn't hurt you. That is the way to profits. Let me know if you're interested in reading or hearing more about this subject and I'll write and record Part 2.

Fevertree Drinks (FEVR) has become a darling stock for Aim investors, having risen over 1500 per cent since its initial public offering in 2014. Revenues grew to match the share price and now investors wait with anticipation as the company tries to break into the lucrative US market hoping punters pick up its premium-priced tonics and mixers. But, has the share price grown too far? Are there risks with its attempts to break into the competitive US market? Or is the current share price either accurate or even at a discount compared to the potential revenue growth on offer?Listen to Investors Chronicle specialist writer Julia Faurschou and fund manager of the Merian UK Mid Cap Fund (GB00B1XG9482) Richard Watts fight it out in the latest Bull vs Bear podcast.

Ray is going solo on this one with Nigel busy on something else. But relax as he has Frazer Fearnhead on today's show Frazer started his career as a lawyer in the music industry, where he worked for six years, before concluding that the law was not for him. He has been investing in property since 1994 and, since 2003, has helped other people invest over £140m in UK property. He sold his previous property investment consultancy Armchair Property Investor in 2007 for over £2M. Frazer is dismayed that, despite all the press coverage, millions of people have not yet started to make provision for their retirement. He passionately believes in helping those people that want to do something to build their wealth and live comfortable in their old age. The purpose of The House Crowd is to enable them to do so as quickly and safely as possible with the optimum ratio of risk and reward. In keeping with that ethos, following the financial crisis in 2008, where he saw banks unethically seize assets from property developers and other businesses, he was motivated to create a business model that enabled people to build their wealth in property without using the banks. After a great deal of research, planning and unique legal structuring he launched The House Crowd in March 2012. It was, at the time, the first property crowdfunding company in the world. Property crowdfunding is now a multi-billion-pound global industry. The House Crowd is now fully authorised and regulated by the FCA and enables people to invest in property backed investments including lucrative development finance deals with highly attractive rates of return and significant downside protection. Clients are able to invest individually, or through tax free structures such as ISAs or their pension if they choose to do so. As well as being the founding director of The House Crowd, he has written a number one Amazon best-selling book “The Alternative Guide To Property Investment” (available on Amazon) and has written numerous articles about property investment and property crowdfunding for the Investors Chronicle, City AM, RightMove, What House, Residential Property Investor, thisismoney.co.uk and other leading publications. The House Crowd is launching a new brand called Money Mog aimed at helping Millennials, in January 2019. The purpose of the brand is to provide financial education to young people and help them start investing for their future early int their life at attractive rates of interest that will enable them to reach their goals much quicker than through traditional channels. It will be available as a standard account or tax free ISA account. Website Links: www.thehousecrowd.com www.moneymog.com www.housecrowd-developments.com

Anglo Pacific (APF) is unlike most commodity groups listed in London.

David Stevenson is a journalist extraordinaire and writes for a number of leading publications including the Adventurous Investor Column in the FT, the Investors Chronicle, Money Management and Investment Week, where he's the contrarian columnist.  He also runs the AltFi empire that spans conferences, news and as we heard in LFP010 with Rupert Taylor, AltFi Data. He has also authored a number of books on investment including three for the FT as well as having extensive interests in the visual media world. David joins us on the show to talk about why it matters that Alternative Finance becomes viewed as an asset class in its own right - a subject that draws together his long-term role as an investment commentator as well as lynchpin of the London Alternative Finance scene. I must say that I thought that this hypothesis about being an asset class was rather a linguistic point. However, having discussed it with David, I can see the importance of it being so and I hope you will be persuaded too. Topics discussed include: - David's career journey to where he is today - his long-standing interest in alternative investments as a whole and how that informs his views on the latest incarnation of alt. investment - Alternative Finance - why Asset Management Fintech is a very small sector (can you think of any firm other than Nutmeg?) - the role of (a) Exchange Traded Funds, (b) the likes of Charles Schwab who sell these for no fees, in this phenomenon - what it takes to make an "asset class" - the example in this context of how the gold investment market has evolved - asset classes requiring fungibility, liquidity, transferability, secondary markets, transparency, sufficient flow/volume, durability of counterparties/originators - how Alternative Finance has been mutating from a series of isolated products into an asset class (cf the debate around the AltFin ISA in this context) - Alternative Finance as part of a much broader "Alternative Credit" asset class - why institutions can help the private investor's interests and what is required for that to happen rather than the opposite - whether the exponential asset growth will turn out as having come from reduced quality - Risk in Alternative Finance (see eg my articles for AltFi News on Lender Risk in Alternative Finance or Risk Debt in P2P) - "IPO envy" - IPOs as a rite of passage for the industry; the role of being a public company in forcing transparency upon the industry (more important in Equity Crowdfunding) - our joint view of the scandalous state of lack of data around Equity Crowdfunding - most don't even publish how many funds they have raised or what percentage of listings have been successful - where standards of transparency might come from (or not...) - is innovation continuous or episodic? - the importance of ISAs in shaping the sectors evolution as an asset class in its own right and the mentality that it will become part of a "normal" investment portfolio in general - David's launching of the Journal of Disruptive Finance an academic quality journal to examine the Alternative Finance from a rigorous perspective. Eg what the real impact on the economy is, how disruption works and much more. It will cover "peer-lending, marketplace lending, crowdfunding, equity crowdfinancing, SME finance, fintech, cryptocurrencies, online finance generally including next generation asset management models online as well as strategy and business models prevalent within these fast emerging industries" - AltFi's new venture - AltFi Investor - a site dedicated to filling the information gap for investors (platforms having concentrated more on the asset origination side)   All this and much more :-) Enjoy!
