Identifying stocks based on measure M, on stock Sectors.
- The measure M is a technical indicator timing kind of measure.

List of Blue Chip Companies - Argo Investments

The purpose of this article is to show a list of blue chip companies being invested by Investment Companies - in this case - Argo Investments.

Picking blue chip companies are easy or hard depending on who you are. If you are new to the market, the fact that there are over a thousand companies in the Australian sharemarket makes it a daunting task to even start analysing. Why not look at what the experts are investing.

Currently, the bear market is over a year old - and most people recognised this is going to be one of the worst economic downturns in history. Yet in terms of the sharemarket, clever investors are preparing to dive back in any time now, waiting for the signal that the market has bottomed. Even when the share market starts picking up again, the economy will be in the middle of a great struggle. Companies that are able to survive will be the blue chip companies that keep on producing and coming out of the recession strongly. So that is why we are focussing on blue chips.

Argo investments have been around for more than a decade. While I have not done a thorough analysis, it has done relatively well in the six months to 31 Dec 2008. I present here the list of principal investments of Argo Investments as a guide and starting point for picking blue chip companies.
