Dear %%first_name%%,
As the US continues to play silly buggers, the Australian market seems mostly nonplussed, but who knows when this impasse might end. We asked Switzer experts what they think of the shenanigans and what it could mean, if anything, for your SMSF.
Today we can also report that our Switzer Super Report portfolios have, again, managed to outperform the ASX200 Accumulation index, which was itself up by 16.22% for the year to date, by over 3%. Read our September update by Paul Rickard below.
We also have another big call from Charlie Aitken, who is a big bank lover and particularly enamored with Westpac right now. In Buy, Sell, Hold – what the brokers say, BHP and CSL get upgrades and Tony Negline weighs up the pros and cons of family trusts.
Ron Bewley casts his eye over the IT sector in his regular review and our question of the week features a very interesting discourse between myself and Noel Whittaker (whom I’m sure you’ve heard of) about property in SMSFs. We also have another Super Sessions on the “bubble”!
Sincerely,
Peter Switzer
