Thanks for the reply.
Steinhoff a lot of people got wrong. But read this article https://www.moneyweb.co.za/investing/psg-why-we-didnt-own-steinhoff/ and PSG who had ties with Steinhoff avoided them! How could they read the signs?
What worries me about not being able to beat the Top40/ALSI is if this is true we may as well just buy the ETFs and forget about trying to manage a portfolio. Especially if you can identify the "Dogs" and not have them in your portfolio wouldn't that enable you to beat the market? That was the reason for the Steinhoff question.
For resources the view should be only if you actively manage your portfolio and can get in and out at the right time should they be considered.
Hopefully we can discuss this more.
