risk assessment25 Nov 2017 09:05
Equities can be a very dangerous place to be as holders of Carillion,Capita and Provident Financial etc have found out to their peril this year.The risk/reward balance with TEF though seems perfect,you may not see the spectacular SP rises achieved in some other places,but the focus,leadership,management and transparency here is compelling.The guidance is honest and accurate,there are no nasty shocks or surprises.With a lot of due diligence and effort,it is possible to know most of what is going on inside this business.This really is the sort of long term business you would like to own outright.So those here who like to post negative thoughts about TEF or insist on comparisons with "better" prospects elsewhere,are going to have a hard time deflecting some of us.
