Dear %%first_name%%,
It might not seem so right now, but it has been a good year on the markets. As the ASX 200 steadies around 5100, I’m still wondering about a Christmas rally, but I’m sure of one thing – the US will taper soon.
What I’m asking from Santa for Christmas is for this to happen sooner rather than later, so we can all get used to it, and markets and economies can just get back to business. Find out what I’m going to do about it all in my article below.
Also in the Switzer Super Report today, we have James Dunn outlining some of the stocks you might want to dump – Myer and David Jones should come as no surprise, but the others might. Geoff Wilson gives his outlook for value hunters in 2014 and Gary Stone has a look at the direction of the Aussie dollar in the charts.
In the third part of our investing for kids and grandkids, Paul Rickard walks us through insurance bonds, and some of their pros and cons for minors, and our auction statistics today include more capital cities and also a look at the value of private treaty sales.
Sincerely,
Peter Switzer
