Dear %%first_name%%,

The strange viral-affected investing world right now has got me thinking about safer investing plays and something called the ‘dogs of the Dow’ strategy. And that’s where I put my focus today.

In his article, Paul (Rickard) focuses on the 4 companies he thinks could make or break reporting season, why you should watch them and why they’re so important. Could they drive the market higher?

Reporting season moves into prime time this week, with the first of the heavyweight reports from Commonwealth Bank, CSL and Telstra, as well as full-year results from Woodside Petroleum, QBE Insurance and the beleaguered AMP. James Dunn analyses the companies reporting earnings over the next 7 days – who to look out for, what the market is expecting, and the non-financial measures the market will use to judge the quality.

In Buy, Sell, Hold – What the Brokers Say, for the week ending Friday 7 February 2020, FNArena counted no less than 26 upgrades in ratings for individual ASX-listed stocks against 16 downgrades.

And finally in Hot Stocks, CMC Markets’ chief market strategist, Michael McCarthy, explains why he likes ASX 200 Index Put options but doesn’t like CSL. And Julia Lee, chief investment officer at Burnam Invest reveals why she likes Adelaide Brighton (ABC) but doesn’t like Domain (DHG).
