Watch: The good, the bad and the ugly stocks of the ASX
The third panel session at Livewire Live 2024 explored the stocks the experts love to those they are avoiding.
This is a recording of a live panel session from Livewire Live 2024, held on Tuesday 17 September 2024.
Investing in the stock market can be a little bit of a venture into the Wild West at times, but how do you split the heroes from the villains? To quote the old spaghetti Western, “People with ropes around their necks don’t always hang” and likewise, companies you expect to fail may not be the ones that cause you the most trouble.
In the third panel of Livewire Live 2024, the experts nominated their market heroes “the Good” and then explored the themes and stumbling blocks they see going forward – aka “the Bad and the Ugly”.
Will traditional stalwarts like the Big Banks, CSL and Woolworths win hearts, or should you be looking somewhere different?
Moderated by Centennial Asset Management's Matthew Kidman, you'll hear from:
- Dr David Allen, Head of Long/Short Strategies, Plato Investment Management
- Ben Griffiths, Executive Chairman, Eley Griffiths Group
- James Hawkins, Partner & Head of the Catalyst Fund, L1 Capital
- Dushko Bajic, Head of Australian Equities Growth, First Sentier Investors
