Dear %%first_name%%,
As we near the end of the traditionally rocky October, it’s a good time to take a look ahead and consider some basic long-term investing tenets. Today I make a list of everything you need to know, without dwelling too much on the negatives – because that’s something you know I hate to do!
Also in the Switzer Super Report today, James Dunn picks out four fun stocks to get serious about, including Super Retail Group. Retail stocks have had a bit of a hiding but consumer sentiment looks like it’s picking up, and Charlie Aitken believes that means it’s a good time to go bargain hunting.
Small cap fund manager extraordinaire Ben Griffiths, of Eley Griffiths Group, gets very bullish about one of his favourite new age stocks, Sundance Energy, in Fundie’s Favourite and in Buy, Sell, Hold – what the brokers say, Boart Longyear, Drillsearch and Newcrest get upgraded.
We also take a look at biotechs in Shortlisted, and chartist Gary Stone explains what’s going on with the S&P 500. Plus, our regular property review suggests that momentum is building in Tasmania, Queensland and South Australia.
Sincerely,
Peter Switzer
