Dear %%first_name%%,

We’ve been welcomed back from the Easter break with a Wall Street sell-off that pulled the Dow back below the 13,000-mark it fought so hard to break. Amid the rising economic concerns in the US, not to forget Europe, should we sell now before we get to May? I tell you what I’m thinking in my note today.

Also in the Switzer Super Report, we explain how you can invest in overseas stocks and we take a look at what Telstra’s chart is telling us. Plus, we have our weekly broker wrap, which this week has seen 24 downgrades and just four upgrades. We also tell you about three foolish mistakes made by SMSF trustees that landed them in hot water. I hope you enjoy today’s edition.



Sincerely,

Peter Switzer
