Dear %%first_name%%,

While Charlie is still skipping the light fandango and turning cartwheels on the floor somewhere beyond our shores, we have a different article for you today from Max Williamson about the electric car and why you shouldn’t sell your oil and gas shares. It’s a good read, even if you don’t hold these shares or drive a Tesla.

Percy Allan says quite rightly that forecasting is a treacherous business that few get right. Percy is a market timer but in his article today he has a punt on how long the current stock market melt-up might last.

 As Tony Featherstone says in his article today, New Year investment stories are usually full of buy ideas but Tony starts off his first Switzer Report column for 2020 with a sell idea: tourism, a sector he has long favoured. And in Buy, Hold, Sell – What the Brokers Say, Woolworths is one of six ASX companies getting an upgrade this week, while stockbroker analysts issue seven downgrades, including Woolies arch rival, Coles.

Questions of the Week will be back next week, as it seems many of our Aussie subscribers are still enjoying their break.



Sincerely,

Peter Switzer
