Dear %%first_name%%,
What a start to the year! The market dives have been worse than even the Great Depression, even testing such optimists like me. The ‘bads’ data is certainly outweighing the ‘goods’ data but a number of positives that I outline below helps me keep the faith. Don’t give up on stocks. Remember, investing is a long-term game.
Some of our regulars – like Rudi Filapek-Vandyck with the Broker Report, won’t be back until next week but we still have some great stories for you.
In today’s Switzer Super Report, we look at our model portfolios which have performed strongly despite a tough 2015. Our growth portfolio outperformed the index by more than 4%.
James Dunn also looks at four stocks poised to pay some special dividends, as yield remains the safe trade for 2016.
Given the market swings, Gary Stone tackles a few elephants in the room, as he explores this week’s support zone for the ASX200.
In our Professional’s Pick, Tribeca’s Sean Fenton tells us about a well-managed business that can give investors diversification away from the major banks.
And in Super Stock Selectors, defensive plays Transurban and Spark Infrastructure made it on the likes list, while Fortescue remains on the dislikes list.
Sincerely,

Peter Switzer
