A FTSE 250 pick that’s not for the faint-hearted

Of the six stocks that passed this year's Great Expectations screen, one appears particularly cheap, hot and risky
January 11, 2022
  • Risks came home to roost for the Great Expectation screen over the last 12 months
  • Still, 10-year performance looks very impressive at 389 per cent versus 115 per cent from the FTSE 350
  • Six new Great Expectation stocks for 2022

The Great Expectations screen has been a real rip-roarer over the last decade. Since I started to run it in late 2011 it has produced a 389 per cent total return compared with 115 per cent from the FTSE 350, which is the index the screen selects stocks from.

But it’s been a high-octane ride that’s come with spills as well as thrills. It’s high rewards are built on a ravenous appetite for risk, and risk came home to roost last year.
