    If you want to find value for the long term best to avoid ALL of the type of stocks in the table above.

    That is avoid the well analysed stocks covered by lots of brokers.

    What most also have in common is a long history and that means their growth period above that of the general economy is long gone. That is why their overall return is very similar to that of the GDP figure. Not a happy hunting ground. Safer yes, overall, but you pay a price for that - sub optimal returns.

    You may well have to do a lot more work and obtain certain research skills to find your own stocks outside this area but above average returns in most endeavours require such.

    For example, the recent research report into gold stocks talked about lots of gold stocks covered well by analysts. The emerging gold stock they failed to mention is the one to be on if you find value accreting. When they start mentioning it maybe it's time to move on.
