Dear %%first_name%%,

As Charlie Aitken says, there’s a huge amount of uncertainty involved in making forecasts and predictions at present. In his article today, Charlie takes us through his framework on how to approach the next few weeks and months in equity markets — I am sure you will find his article useful.

Last week Tony Featherstone suggested that, by now, an investor should have used at least half of their available investment cash to increase equities exposure. He still holds this view and is not convinced it’s time to go “all in” or that the market has bottomed. In his article today, he gives more than 9 stocks that he thinks are good buys.

And in Buy, Sell, Hold — What the Brokers Say, there have been 21 upgrades and 8 downgrades so far this week from the 7 stockbrokers monitored by FNArena.

Finally in Questions of the Week, Paul Rickard answers readers queries about Westpac and AUSTRAC; whether Decmil is a buy; and will Macquarie pay a dividend?

If you’re looking to improve yourself over this Easter break, I’ve asked the team to put my book, Join the Rich Club on sale for a few days over Easter. They’ve put a 30% discount on it just for this long weekend, until midnight Monday 13th April.

Spend this time wisely and equip yourself with all the tools you’ll need to become a smart investor and a better you. Purchase a copy of Join the Rich Club here.

Happy Easter and talk to you Saturday.



Sincerely,

Peter Switzer
