Dear %%first_name%%,

In today’s Report, I’ve tapped into the investing thoughts of Lincoln Indicator’s Elio D’Amato, FNArena’s Rudi Filapek-Vandyck and Bell Direct’s Julia Lee, in the wake of the Trump trade war truce knocked up over the weekend. They give you their tips.

Also in the Report today, Tony Featherstone says that although he’s bearish on retail REITs, he likes Unibail-Rodamco – the old Westfield – which is in value territory after recent price falls.

For the Professional’s Pick, Rob Miller, Portfolio Manager of NAOS Asset Management explains why he’s backing Service Stream (SSM). And in Buy, Hold, Sell — What the Brokers Say, upgrades have just outnumbered downgrades 7 to 6.

Whether the real estate market is up, down or just treading water, the rules about what can and can’t be done in an SMSF continue to cause considerable confusion. Graeme Colley, Executive Manager Technical and High Wealth at Super Concepts, explains how to properly put a property inside your SMSF.

And in Questions of the Week today, we answer readers’ queries about capital losses in an SMSF; franking credits and the consequences of late lodgement of an annual return.

Finally, don’t forget our monthly webinar is on tomorrow. James Gerrish from Shaw and Partners will be joining us to look at the stars and duds of the share market this year, and where the best opportunities might be in the new year. And we’ll answer your questions.



Sincerely,

Peter Switzer
