Which 3 Stocks Would Warren Buffett Buy?

Much has changed since the Independent's Investment Column looked at spread betting firm IG Group. For one thing, the economic outlook has turned darker, making IG's chunky prospective dividend yield of 5% (and higher on some estimates) look that much more attractive, the Indy reckons. The income, and the quality of the UK business, suddenly appears more valuable in light of the weaker trends in the global economy. Rising revenues in uncertain times, a quality franchise and a healthy dividend yield at a time when earnings across all manner of sectors are in question - make IG look like a good bet. At around 12 times forward earnings for next year, falling to under 11 times for the year after, IG is not expensive either. Take a punt on the shares, says the Indy.

Shares in Imperial Tobacco have lost almost 10% of their value since mid-May, mainly because of fears of a price war in Spain. The good news yesterday was that the war Imperial prefers the word "skirmish" is over. The shares, up 10p to £20.12½, are yielding 4.7 per cent for the current year, which is the main reason for holding them, says the Times.

It appears institutional investors are willing to trust Schroders to look after their money in turbulent times. The blue-chip and blue-blooded fund manager yesterday reported a rise in assets under management to £204.8bn, which was ahead of most analysts' forecasts and was helped by net new business of £5bn. All the same, the company is still reporting healthy earnings - they rose to £215.7m from £188.2m a year earlier. In what we take as a good sign, this supported an 18 per cent increase in the interim dividend to 13 pence. This was a creditable set of results from Schroders, but we think there are better opportunities in the fund-management sector (for example Aberdeen, or Jupiter). As a result, we'd avoid these shares, suggests the Independent.
