Dear %%first_name%%,
We have something very special for our readers today – a ready-made income-biased stock portfolio prepared by our very own stockbroker hall-of-famer Paul Rickard. We plan to keep track of how this portfolio performs, so make sure you see what stocks are inside it in today’s report.
Also in the Switzer Super report, I talk about the incredible value in the market that has been sidelined by the ‘euromess’, we take a look at why Aussie banks have outperformed the ASX200 and whether this trend is set to continue, and we run you over the things you should consider before putting property in your SMSF – particularly if you pay or plan to start paying a pension in the next few years.
I hope you enjoy today’s report. Please check the bottom of the page for the dates we’ll be sending out the Switzer Super Report over Christmas and the New Year.
Sincerely,
Peter Switzer
Many DIY super funds end up taking large tax hits because of mistakes trustees make when running their fund. To avoid this, read our page on How your SMSF is taxed.
Christmas and New Year
The year is winding down and the Switzer Super Report will now move to a holiday schedule over Christmas and the New Year. Don't miss these two special editions:
Thursday 29 December - The Year that Was: The best calls of 2011.

The Report will return to normal scheduling on Monday 9 January.
