Dear %%first_name%%,
As the US ends the year on a tapering note, this is our very last regular issue for 2014 and I wanted to take this opportunity to thank you, from all of us here at the Switzer Super Report, for your support over the past year.
The US decision to start tapering in January could bring a Santa Claus rally next week, but more importantly, it means next year will be a good year for stocks. If you want proof, just look at the almost 300-point gain by the Dow Jones overnight.
Today we have three large cap calls from Charlie Aitken, which he bets we will be partying on the proceeds of this time next year. We also have Margaret Lomas’ property mythbusters for anyone considering an investment in the residential property market, and Tony Negline examines a court case that underlines how important proper estate planning is for your SMSF.
In our Fundie’s Favourite, Andy Gracey and Tim Case of Australian Ethical explain why they have a cornerstone investment in the about-to-float small pharma company, Innate Immunotherapeutics, andShort ‘n’ Sweet examines everything that has been said about the Aussie dollar in this report over the past few weeks.
Roger Montgomery explains his value formulas and Buy, Sell, Hold – what the brokers say, reveals both Wesfarmers and IAG have been upgraded following the sale of Wesfarmers’ underwriting business to IAG. Questions of the Week look at currency risk and ETFs and an unlisted property syndicate.
We’ll be publishing a ‘Best of Switzer 2014’ on 2January 2 2014 and our first regular Monday report will resume on 6 January 2014.
Here’s wishing you a Merry Christmas and all the best for a profitable New Year!
Sincerely,
Peter Switzer
