Dear %%first_name%%,
The possible coming of Bill Shorten as PM will force many investors and retirees to think outside the square to protect their investments and the income that flows from them. I share my ideas about what you might be able to do in my article today.
For some shareholders, BHP’s off-market share buyback will be an easy and welcome decision but for others, not so. What’s special about an off market buyback and should you accept the offer? Paul Rickard takes a detailed look at the buyback.
And with the market having been hammered by a nasty October, there are plenty of stocks, at all levels of the market, showing big gaps between their current share prices, and the target prices that analysts expect they can achieve. James Dunn gives us 4 at the lower end for you to consider.
In Buy, Hold, Sell – what the brokers say, FNArena’s Rudi Filapek-Vandyck reports an interesting dynamic unfolding inside our share market post October slaughter fest, with last week registering no less than 26 recommendation upgrades for individual ASX-listed stocks versus only four stock downgrades.
And in Hot Stocks, Michael McCarthy explains why he likes Lovisa, while ST Wong has a soft spot for Collins Food.
What if you have one SMSF but want separate investment allocations and have different investment strategies in the one fund? Can you do it? Graeme Colley answers these questions.
