Investing Show: How to avoid problem shares… so you can pick the winners
If you want to pick good shares, then you need to start off by spending plenty of time working out which ones to avoid.
In an investing world where contrarian is a term that often gets applies too easily, Jeremy Lang, of Ardevora, has long been renowned for genuinely taking a different approach – and delivering market-beating returns
