Last week, five out of the top 10 companies (actually 4, and a fifth former “top ten”) reported their financial results: Commonwealth Bank, CSL, Macquarie, Telstra, and Wesfarmers. What did the market make of the results, and where do these stocks head now? Here’s my take.
What is your single most preferred stock in each sector? I am retired – can I avoid paying CGT on a property I have just sold? Should I take part in the Metcash share purchase plan? I am enrolled in CBA’s dividend re-investment plan. Is it too late to change and take the cash instead?
While I don’t like paying road tolls, Transurban (TCL) is one of my favourite stocks. Read my article today to find out why and what price would turn me into a buyer of more TCL.
Is it time to get out of Telstra? Can I invest in India through an exchange traded fund? What do the brokers think of Car Group (formerly carsales.com)? When do CBA and CSL report their earnings?

I’m a great believer in term deposits in an investor’s portfolios (if the rate and term is right) because term deposits are one of the few investments where retail investors get better rates than wholesale investors. This is for two reasons, which I explain here today.
Will the share market sell off in 2025 ahead of the introduction of the tax on super funds over $3 million? With a reversionary super pension, what are the implications on the transfer balance cap? What do the analysts say about Fortescue? Is Pilbara Minerals still your preferred way to play the lithium market?
While I’m always wary about making a recommendation to sell, JB Hi-Fi (JBH) and Commonwealth Bank (CBA) in my opinion are ripe for profit-taking. Here are reasons for my view.
Are rate cuts a positive or negative for the share prices of the major banks? Is there a major risk of a recession in 2024, and if so, should we sell now? Magellan is offering 10c for each of the options in the Magellan Global Fund – what should I do? Should I take part in the unit purchase plan for the Metrics Master Income Trust?
