Dear %%first_name%%,

There are a few events happening this week that we all need to be aware of – there’s the Scottish independence vote and, of course, the Fed meets in the US.

I’m not sure it’s going to be business as usual, and while I’d love the Aussie dollar to drop, a couple of things are happening that might prevent that. But even if there is a market dip, you’ll know I’ll be looking for bargains.

Also in the Switzer Super Report today, we have fund manager extraordinaire Geoff Wilson pointing out his favourite micro-caps – he likes Ardent Leisure and Veda Group – and James Dunn looks at how you can invest in the Big Data theme.

Russell Muldoon at Montgomery Investment Management looks at another small-cap saviour in Slater & Gordon, and in Buy, Sell, Hold – what the brokers say, Newcrest gets an upgrade. There is some levelling out of auction clearance data and did you know that iSelect has been added to our Takeover Talk list? Read all about it today.



Sincerely,

Peter Switzer

Merger and acquisition activity continues to heat up last week, with speculation that Carsales.com.au would make a bid for iCar. Last week, Tony Featherstone added iSelect to our exclusive Takeover Talk list. If you missed it, read all about it here http://www.switzersuperreport.com.au/2014/takeover-talk-eyes-iselect/ .
