Two portfolio stocks to take profits on
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.
Paul Rickard has more than 30 years’ experience in financial services and banking, including 20 years with the Commonwealth Bank Group in senior leadership roles. Paul was the founding Managing Director and CEO of CommSec, and was named Australian ‘Stockbroker of the Year’ in 2005. In 2011, Paul teamed up with Peter Switzer and Maureen Jordan to launch the Switzer Report, a newsletter and website for share market investors. A regular commentator in the media, investment advisor and company director, he is also a Non-Executive Director of Tyro Payments Ltd and PEXA Group Limited.

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?

With my super pension, do I have to make a withdrawal every month? Should I cut my losses on rare earths miner Hastings Technology Metals? What do the broker analysts say about REA Group? Should I vote in favour of the proposal to delist NB Global Corporate Income Trust?
In this article, I look at tax issues, road testing a kid’s bank accounts, buying shares and insurance bonds and how to surprise your grandchildren on Christmas Day!
What should I do with my Perpetual shares following the announcement of a takeover? What do the major brokers think of IDP Education? I have just found out that my Sunland shares have been delisted……what can I do? How can I track the lithium spot price?
In this article, I look at how our two model portfolios have performed so far in 2023. To do so, we will start by examining how the overall market has fared. Let me add that both portfolios are now firmly in the black.
Why is Metrics Master Income Trust doing an institutional placement? How is the monthly CPI different to the quarterly CPI? Are you still fans of Xero? When calculating your super balance for an account based pension, should you include the franking credits that have been accrued but not yet received?
