- I want to invest long term in the share market. I love Buffett strategies, however, I am having difficulty narrowing down the field. Buffett says ROE is the most important issue to look at, although recently a Broker said in Australia ROIC is the first place to look. What would be a good strategy to eliminate the undesirable stocks? I was thinking along the lines of: -obtain list of All Ords -delete investment companies -delete property trusts -delete resource stocks I want to narrow the field down & then look at whether EPS is strong & rising over the last 5-10 years, measure debt etc.
