HOW TO PROTECT YOUR PORTFOLIO

Welcome to our Morning Review video report. We look at the inverse ETF by Betashares “BBUS” which is now up 20% from the lows last week.

The Dow Jones is down over 2000 points and the selling is likely to accelerate.

On Monday we recommended that investors put in place portfolio hedging, stop-losses on high PE and cyclical names and trim gains to raise cash.

The video runs for 6 minutes and if you’d like to discuss the ideas presented,  please call our office on 1300 614 002.

Welcome to our Morning Review video report. We look at the inverse ETF by Betashares “BBUS” as a way investors can profit from a down move in US equities.

With the Dow Jones trading down 666 points on Friday night we encourage investors to start building portfolio hedging positions, place stop-losses on high PE and cyclical names and trim gains to raise cash.

Buy And Hold Telstra

Posted on | by Todd | 2 Comments on Buy And Hold Telstra

Over the course of the last six months, TLS shares have been beaten down as the company purges its liabilities to the NBN and re-calibrates other assets.

As part of that process, the telecom giant announced that it will be writing down the value of its Ooyala video streaming firm to zero.

This will result in an impairment charge of $273 million in the half year numbers.

Technically, TLS shares have been building a solid base in the $3.50 to $3.60 area and we expect to see the stock trade back into the $4.00 handle over the medium-term.

With an annual dividend yield just under 8%, we suggest investors look to accumulate TLS shares in this price area.

US Payroll Data Triggers Wall Street Rout

Posted on | by Todd | Leave a Comment on US Payroll Data Triggers Wall Street Rout

U.S. stocks fell sharply on Friday after a stronger-than-expected Non-farm payroll report pushed interest rates higher.

The U.S. economy added 200,000 new jobs in January versus expected growth of 180,000. Weekly average earnings rose 2.9% on an annualized basis and the unemployment rate was unchanged at 4.1%.

The Dow 30 index dropped 665.75 points (2.8%) to close at 25,520, which is the index’s sixth-largest points decline ever.

The broad-based SP 500  fell 2.1% and finished at 2,762, with energy as the worst-performing sector.

The NASDAQ 100 plunged 1.96% to 7,240 as declines in Apple and Alphabet offset a strong gain in Amazon shares.

The combination of extreme valuations and increased leverage in the market could see US equities extend today’s losses into next week.

We suggest cutting high PE names from portfolios and looking for “stock specific” opportunities on the long side. SP 500 Index
