Dear %%first_name%%,

The local market got the shot in the arm it needed at the end of last week with China cutting interest rates and QE, or quantitative easing, starting in Europe. It certainly put me in a Christmassy mood.

If you’ve suddenly realised you’ve only got a month to go to Christmas, then you might want to check out Paul Rickard’s article on investing for your kids or grandchildren. Over the next three weeks, he’s going to cover everything from buying shares for minors, through to investing in insurance bonds or an education fund.  Today, he looks at all the tax issues about investing for children, plus where to get the best bank account.

Also in the Switzer Super Report today, James Dunn outlines the stocks to buy in 2015 – US dollar favourites like CSL (CSL), ResMed (RMD), and Aristocrat Leisure (ALL), are high on the list, and in Buy, Sell, Hold – what the brokers say, BlueScope and Woolworths get upgrades. Shortlisted looks at the Medibank frenzy and Woolworths, and Brisbane offers property investor opportunities in our weekly property review.



Sincerely,

Peter Switzer
