Dear %%first_name%%,

There are some conflicting signs in the market about whether we’re about to get a rally or a retreat. On the one hand, the market is eager to act on good news out of Europe, while on the other, profit-takers are ready to lock in gains. I weigh up the factors affecting each in my column today.

Also in the Switzer Super Report, George Boubouras names the companies inside a typical dividend-paying stock portfolio and explains the strategy that goes along with generating income. Plus, we have our weekly broker wrap of the stocks the brokers say to buy, sell and hold; and we look at what trustees can get paid for when running their DIY super.

Have a great week investing.



Sincerely,

Peter Switzer

There is a difference between in-house assets and related party investments, and failing to understand these two rules could have severe consequences for your DIY super fund. Find out more in our article on 'In house assets' and 'related party investments'.
