- Most reports in the media tell you it's a terrible investment. Everyone else is selling out as fast as possible.
- The company owns real assets (building, land, products, distribution rights) that can be sold for cash.
- The current value (share price) of the company is less than the value of its assets.
- It is a difficult business for competitors to enter (most people can put up a website with a bit of effort, very few people could roll out a nationwide chain of chemists for example).
- Finally, the company is operating in a growing market. An unstable market is fine, you should try to avoid those markets (eg: print newspapers) that are disappearing.
Retail is one area where there is a lot of value at the moment.

Look at the rack record. Good fund managers publish them. Try trustnet.co.uk to search for the top performers.
Go to an IFA for advice. Fee based advisers are best. Try to find one who is recommended.

When the media doesn't exploit it... when it's quiet and just making good earnings for its shareholders. Buy and hold and leave it alone.
