Dear %%first_name%%,
From talk of bull markets to potential crashes, the headlines can make confusing reading for investors. In this environment, a thoughtful reader has raised some interesting questions regarding the modest performance of international stock markets at a time when the world economy is actually faring reasonably well. So are people really over equities? I share my thoughts in today’s article.
Also in the Switzer Report, Paul Rickard has the latest on our income and growth portfolios for October, and Bryan Ashenden examines the factors to weigh up with self-managed super funds at a time when fewer are being set up.
In Buy, Hold, Sell – what the brokers say, FN Arena’s Rudi Filapek-Vandyck reports that stockbrokers are now upbeat about opportunities on the Australian share market after a brutal month in October.
And in Hot Stocks, we explain why The Reject Shop represents a good buy, along with Rio, courtesy of its off-market buyback.
