Can you link that to the relative value of a share for example? I know Naspers is a high quality share, but don't you think it is overpriced? Or do we buy now and wait for the share price to catch up a bit?

Blik - All these shares are "expensive" relative to there peers. It's because it's quality and they have a history of overperformance. The question really is how long can they maintain this performance curve ? Your guess is as good as mine. The two cheapest blue chips I follow in a portfolio - Implats and Exxaro also seems to be the worst performers. I think in the long run and in unsure economic times investing in these start performers will beat "cheap" shares where a perception of underperformance exist anytime.

funny, it seems a couple of those that others call the obvious ones are missing:
BTI, SAB, BIL, ANG, ...
I might just add Firstrand, Woolies and Bidvest to the list as its also got great leadership. I quite like Michael Jordaans style.

Look at charts for the shares you just mentioned over a couple of years. I'm looking at blue chips that added 200% + over the last three years. BIL, ANG doesn't even come close. BTI and SAB are ok, but can't compare with my list. Bidvest might just reach the list.

I know, I made the point the other day that everybody believes (eg) BIL is always such a keeper, a must have, a no-brainer - Yet when you do the actual research it really doesnt produce great returns (its safe though, but not great). Same with SAB.

SAB got to around R139 during the 2008 financial crisis and now sitting at R350, great company.....

that is a very good return but if you take it over longer periods it starts reducing by a lot (below 12% CAGR). Its more of a chugger, it keeps on chugging but doesnt really shoot out the lights when compared to some other stories. But admittedly cant fault anyone for choosing this share, there are much worse choices.
