Dear %%first_name%%,
In my article in this Report today, I try to assess what’s ahead for 2019, based on what we can see that could drive stock prices and what history says makes sense. Here are my 6 reasons to stick with stocks this year.
Also in the Report today, while Paul Rickard says that unlike me, he’s not yet a “card carrying member” of the rate cut camp, he acknowledges that market sentiment has shifted over the last few weeks, with wholesale rates starting to fall in anticipation of a possible rate cut and retail rates beginning to follow suit. On that basis, he offers his regular review of the best term deposit and cash rates.
Following on from Paul’s take on interest rates, James Dunn believes investors have even more reason to look to the share market for yield. He examines 3 small cap high yielders that he think are worth a serious look.
In Buy, Sell, Hold, – What the Brokers Say, FNArena says that the end of a busy February reporting season has significantly reduced the research output by stockbrokers but this hasn’t prevented sell-side analysts from continuing to issue more downgrades than upgrades. The fact the ASX200 might be hovering near 6200 might could have something to do with it.
Julia Lee identifies the stocks that get her ‘thumbs up’ or ‘thumbs down’ given our current economic outlook.
And finally, in our Hot Stock today, CMC Markets’, Michael McCarthy explains why he likes Pinnacle Investment Group and doesn’t like Atlas Arteria (ALX).
