Dear %%first_name%%,

Tony Abbott’s victory should be no big surprise for my Switzer Super Report readers. You know I’ve been predicting this outcome for some time, and you also know it will be a good thing for the stock market and business sentiment in general.

We’re already seeing renewed sentiment in the property market, which in Sydney is at levels not seen in a decade. See Penny Pryor’s report below.

Also in the Switzer Super Report today, we have Greg Fraser on Rio Tinto, who’s not so quick to call an end to the mining boom, but says we could actually be entering a second phase. In Buy, Sell, Hold – what the brokers say, Rudi Filapek Vandyck reports on upgrades to Peet & Co and WorleyParsons and in his article, our Chief Investment Officer Paul Rickard answers the question – Is it time for small cap stocks?

And if you’re thinking about filing your SMSF tax return, check out our Did you know below, which explains the new increase in the levy.



Sincerely,

Peter Switzer

There has been an increase in the annual ATO supervisory levy for SMSFs, which kicks in when you lodge your 2012/13 annual return. Find out more here.
