With the banks paying good dividends, and CBA going ex div in August, are they a good buy, or do you feel the pressure on the banking sectors will cause their prices to drop. Thanks

Impact of US on gold

With reference to Charlie Aitken’s article Bullish on Gold 7 July. I read another article which stated the probability of the US increasing interest rates in July, Sept and Nov has increased due to the non-farm payroll report in the United States. If this is the case and rates do increase what impact do you think this will have on the present gold bull market?

What is happening with Telstra?

There has been a little bit of noise about Telstra i.e. its not going to do very well from now on driving forward and the dividend is not going to go up.
My elderly mother was rung up and urged to sell as the broker considered she had a high %. What is going on? They have cut staff and moved more services to Philippines? Bonuses can’t be paid as the direct response from customers can’t be assessed? This is all I know and its a month of paying the dividend. Best wishes,

Clime Asset Management (CAM)

Clime Asset Management (CAM)

When I set up my SMSF in mid 2013 I placed some funds in several listed investment firms, and one was CAM it is by far the worse performer, down some 30% at the same time my daughter was also interested in the stockmarket and wanted to invest some of her savings, We, well I decided that CAM run by Clime and John Abernethy who was regularly featured in business news for his expertise would be a good conservative choice and I did spend time telling her markets as well as going up, could often go down.

Yesterday she told me when the market goes up CAM goes nowhere but when it goes down, so does CAM? I could not disagree and although I have decided to hang in there with my SMSF holding as I bought in with a long term view, iam thinking of selling her CAM and reimbursing her the money she lost as I feel so bad about having selected what I thought was well run, well respected LIC and given her a bad introduction to investing in the share market.

So the question is what is the Switzer Super report view on this LIC?

Too good to be true?

I am thinking of buying Katana Capital KAT. They are trading below NTA (I think) and they have been buying back their own shares, this seems all good to me. Am I missing something.
Good Div.?
Below NTA?
Buying back own shares?
I know they are not very liquid but is there something I am missing???
Why not just sit back and get the div???
