The Globe and Mail reports in its Thursday, Sept. 3, edition that the S&P/TSX composite has been extremely volatile, making Warren Buffett's emphasis on steady, dependable growth and attractive valuations levels an approach likely to uncover investment opportunities. The Globe's Scott Barlow writes that Mr. Buffett loves reliability above all things. The Berkshire Hathaway portfolio is dominated not by the fastest-growing companies, but those capable of generating annual growth through any market or economic environment. With this in mind, Mr. Milstead's stock screen begins by ranking all non-financial TSX 60 constituents according to consistency of growth. The 10-year standard deviation of cash-flow growth was used -- cash flow is more resistant to accounting shenanigans than net income. There were some surprises among the TSX 60 stocks representing the most consistent cash-flow growth, highlighted by Canadian Natural Resources. Other stocks on the list were less of a shock -- TransCanada and Telus are at the top of the list, and Inter Pipeline and Rogers Communications are also in the top 10.
