Following stocks also came into my mind. In addition to stocks which are having major uptrend (multi baggers) attractive growth oriented and fundamentally sound stocks in the following categories also could outperform broader market in 2018/19.

Of course don't forget BLIS seems to me it's going to remain a dog.Any profits they might make the directors will gobble it up in directors fees.I have a small holding but have written it off as not worth selling.

I also have one in the same sector. For nearly 10 years I didn’t see any progress. It also will stay as a dog for the time being. Bio technology firms have high risk as well as high return. I saw somewhere: Forget the tech bubble. It’s the biotech bubble you should worry about. I will stay with simple businesses that I can understand well. That doesn’t mean I will avoid tech stocks. I love untestable technology. We see technology everywhere. Even Agri Firms are making use of technology to raise their productivity and growth. They save a huge sum of money by adopting modern technology.

Thank you troyvdh for naming a new commodity(unknown to me).Following types of overlooked stocks are my favorites.

• Quality value stocks trading at a great discount
• Quality growth stocks trading at a great discount
• Great turnaround companies

A great company is not a great investment if you pay too much for the stock.

There will be some opportunity in stocks which shorted badly as well after their solid run hitting all time high and 52 weeks high. If we cannot find here we could find elsewhere may be in Australia, the USA, or UK. Some value stocks don’t need to have superior growth as long as they have a sustainable business, positive cash flow and reasonably strong balance sheets for the foreseeable future. Buying one dollar worth of a quality company for 50 cents is a good strategy.

There are two areas to study before buying stocks.

• Future Outlook (very important)
• Past Track Record

In my view sector oriented approach could minimize risk involve in extended markets.

Not all food stocks equally will do well. Strong firms and emerging ones should outperform others. This sector still will get boost as global consumers have more money in their pockets to spend thanks to appreciation of various types of asset classes and low commodity prices when compare with historically high prices. In addition to growing population, growing travel industry is another boost for food industry. Rapid appreciation of food commodities also cannot be expected as a result of ample supply and good weather patterns.

As stock markets have stretched throughout the world except for overlooked or neglected markets, it may be time to look for overlooked value stocks as well. I strongly believe attractive overlooked and neglected stocks have potential to outperform the market.
