Dear %%first_name%%,

We’re 12 days out to Christmas and have a Switzer sleigh full of ‘tips’ coming down your e-chimney in today’s Report. First up, I’ve asked Michael Gable, Managing Director of Fairmont Equities for his investing thoughts and he says that benign inflation, an easing of long-term yields and GDP growth coming back to sustainable levels should leave equities in a “sweet spot”. And he gives you his Christmas stock pick.

Also in the Report today, Tony Featherstone and James Dunn disclose their secret Santa stocks for your Christmas consideration. Tony suggests 3 stocks to pop in your stocking and 2 to take profits on, while James says it’s time to do some Christmas buying and clearing so your portfolio kicks off the New Year looking good, and gives you 3 buys and 3 sells for 2019

And our Professional’s Pick is from Michael J. Wayne, Managing Director of Medallion Financial Group who says he sees significant value in Aristocrat (ALL)

In Buy, Hold, Sell — What the Brokers Say, you can hang three upgrades on your tree, with Adelaide Brighton, Inghams and QBE Insurance in the good books, while in Questions of the Week today, we answer readers’ queries about gold, banks and Bill Shorten’s retiree tax.

Talk to you next Monday. Enjoy the days leading up to Christmas.



Sincerely,

Peter Switzer
