Dear %%first_name%%,

Local stocks were up 7.6% last week, but what investors want to know is if there’s enough wind in the sails to push the market higher into Christmas. Whether or not that happens could be decided this week, as I explain in my column today.

Also in the Switzer Super Report, if you’re interested in income-generating hybrid notes, you’ll want to read Paul Rickard’s analysis of some existing buys on the local bourse. We also alert you to the SMSF compliance issues the Australian Tax Office will target this financial year, give you a rundown of the six changes the Government made to the super laws last week, and bring you our weekly wrap of stockbroker buys, sells and holds. Please enjoy!



Sincerely,

Peter Switzer

There are many things you need to consider before setting up a self-managed super fund. If you're currently mulling over whether an SMSF is a wise financial decision, read our section on Is an SMSF right for me?
