When we ran a stock screen for have-it-all shares last Christmas, our main concern was that those shares which were able to deliver on the many levels our screen demanded (value, yield, growth, consistency and quality) might ultimately be found to be hiding some dark secrets. With hindsight, we shouldn't have worried. With a couple of exceptions (Chemring and Albemarle & Bond), the 11 stocks the screen selected had a fantastic year (see table) and clocked up an average total return (dividend plus share price performance) of 30.2 per cent, compared with 13.2 per cent from the FTSE All-Share (see table).
