Dear %%first_name%%,

Well what a night for Queenslanders. I’m sure Kevin Rudd didn’t get much sleep last night and to be honest, I’m shaking my head a little at what’s happened to the Labor Party.

However, I still think Abbott will get up in September, or whenever the election now is, which won’t mean too much for SMSFers and definitely nothing bad.
We have a quick look at the possible impact in our Report today.

Also in the Switzer Super Report, Barrie Dunstan examines the kind of companies you should be considering in this market and James Dunn picks up his theme of stocks that are set to benefit from a falling Australian dollar.

Our Fundie’s favourite is Australian Ethical Investments on 3D printer maker, Stratasys – a very interesting tale. Penny Pryor has a look at whether or not Gen Y and Gen X should be considering SMSFs and Ron Bewley examines the materials (ex-mining) sector.

Paul Rickard answers our Question of the Week on Bank of Queensland and Macquarie Group.



Sincerely,

Peter Switzer

To follow up on all this talk about a recession, I spoke with associate economist at the Commonwealth Bank, Diana Mousina, on my show on Sky Business TV.
