Dear %%first_name%%,
I was scratching my head a bit over the weekend – the Aussie dollar going up on the back of great job numbers in the US had me stumped. But on reflection I think that had a lot more to do with our building approval numbers and there’s no way our currency is going to head back to parity anytime soon. I explain what the dollar has got to do with oil and how you can make money off it all today.
Also in the Switzer Super Report, Paul Rickard updates our high-income portfolio for the year ahead. This portfolio has outperformed the index for the two years we’ve been running it and I know Paul puts a lot of thought into each annual review. Find out what we’ve added for this year today.
If you’ve been wondering where some of our regulars contributors are – like Rudi Filapek-Vandyck – most of our columnists should be back from holidays in the next few weeks and we’ll have our first broker report of the year on Thursday. In the meantime, we asked fund manager George Boubouras for his investment themes for 2015 in Shortlisted and Angie Zigomanis, senior manager for residential property at BIS Shrapnel, for his residential property forecasts in an outlook article.
And if you missed our webinar on Friday – you can listen to it here. We answered some great questions about what to do in the year ahead.
Sincerely,
Peter Switzer
