Dear %%first_name%%,
When is the best time to ask hotshot stock market enthusiasts for their “one” best investing idea? Well, it’s after the show-and-tell we call reporting season, where companies do their ‘warts and all’ presentations about their sales, profits and outlook. For the Report today, I did just that, so here are six picks from some of the smartest stock players I know, who live and breathe shares 24/7!
Company reporting season wraps up this week and in the Report today, Paul Rickard offers up his 5 stocks that have stood out from an income perspective and should be able to keep delivering in the medium term. Paul says that while “high” income is important, the stability or certainty of that income is just important.
And our long-standing contributor, James Dunn, says the research and intellectual property that comes out of Australian universities and companies is very highly regarded around the world, and for good reason. Today James offers you four very different examples of Australian biotechs pushing the knowledge envelope, with potentially very lucrative outcomes for the patient among us.
In Buy, Sell, Hold, – What the Brokers Say, the deluge of recommendation downgrades continued with 38 companies downgraded and 17 upgraded.
And finally, in our Hot Stock today, CMC Markets’ Chief Market Strategist, Michael McCarthy explains why Ardent Leisure (ALG), trading near 7-year lows, may fit a value investment profile.
Don’t forget that our next event will kick off in late April/early May in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane.
And as a valued subscriber to the Switzer Report, you have access to our upcoming webinar this Friday. Paul Rickard and myself will be joined by Shawn Burns, Senior Portfolio Manager at Contango Asset Management, to discuss great income stocks for 2019. Click here to register.
Enjoy the read and your week!
Sincerely,
Peter Switzer
