Mitchell Lawler

Mitchell stumbled upon the concept of investing when in high school, devotedly urging his parents to put some money into a handful of technology companies with increasingly popular products among his demographic – many of which have gone on to great success. It wouldn’t be until 2017, some five years later, that Mitchell became an investor of his own money. Having studied and worked as a mechanical engineer in the building services industry, Mitchell takes a methodical and analytical approach to evaluating businesses. Rather than relying purely on numbers, Mitchell drills beyond a company’s metaphorical mantle to unearth obscure patterns or competitive advantages that would go otherwise unnoticed. His expertise resides within areas such as software, consumer goods, and building services equipment. However, his quest to find quality companies that set the industry standard and flex some degree of an impenetrable position has no limits – small cap to mega cap, cosmetics to healthcare – if it’s an exceptional business it’s on his radar.

Today, the S&P/ASX 200 Index (ASX: XJO) was a bleak site as investors brace for additional Russian sanctions. At the end of the session, the benchmark index finished 1.02% lower at 7,038.6 points.

In an abrasive start to the week, the Aussie market showed little in the way of optimism with nine of the 11 sectors closing lower. The pain was mostly felt by the tech sector as investors decided to continue their shift out of risk-on investments.

Fortunately, the energy corner of the index thrived under the conditions, as concerns of a constrained oil supply mount. From this, share prices across oil, gas, and coal companies were bid higher.

However, the question is: which shares managed to stay in the green on the ASX today? Here are the top ten stocks that pulled through for investors:
