Have term deposit rates peaked?
Here are my views on the best term deposit rates available now and what I think the direction of term deposits will be going forward.
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.

Why did the price of bond fund NB Global Corporate Income Trust surge by 7%? Credit Corp has dropped by more than 30%. Is it a buy now? Is property fund manager Charter Hall Group a good buy? When do the major banks report their profits?
Bank reporting season provides a ready opportunity for investors to compare and contrast the fortunes of our four major banks, as well as Macquarie. Could ANZ star? Could Westpac surprise?
With lithium stocks being volatile, what do the brokers say about Pilbara Minerals? If I buy Resmed shares, do I need to lodge that horrible W-8BEN form? What are the implications about making a big one-off contribution to super using the ‘bring-forward’ rule? Can I change my mind about participating in BOQ’s dividend re-investment plan?

With the takeover for Origin Energy, is selling now a better option? I’m a shareholder in Pact Group, where the Chairman has launched a ludicrous takeover offer of 68 cents per share. What do the analysts think? How can I buy government treasury bonds? Is a crash coming?
Let me explain a little about short selling and then what sectors short sellers are shorting!
Should I take up my entitlements in Star Entertainment? I have a CHESS holding and another holding with a Shareholder Reference Number – is it easy to transfer the shares? What do the brokers say about Macquarie Group? Is the downsizer super contribution means tested?
With the Star Entertainment capital raising, how many shares will I be entitled to buy? What do the analysts say about Resmed? What are the best uranium stocks to buy? If I start a super pension mid-year, do I have to take out any money that year?
