Today we introduce the new MARCUS SPI section, your go to spot for Strategy Portfolios and Ideas. Today we do a strategy roundup and tackle the REALLY BORING PORTFOLIO (RBP) which involves restructuring the existing ETF portfolio into a long-term market matching portfolio with a strategy overlay. We have moved all the fun ETFs into Henry’s charge, he has started an ACTIVE ETF PORTFOLIO today. NAB results looked okay today but the share prices dropped.

Today we look at the FOMC who have delivered a taper without a tantrum. The central banks have done a good job this week diffusing a bond yield blip and announcing the taper, the timing of which most strategists have spent the last year speculating about. It’s done. DMP dropped 17% this morning after the AGM yesterday. Or is there something else going on? Z1P makes us cringe despite a dazzling AGM presentation. Bank dividends coming up. AMP a risk ahead of an investor day. US markets at record highs but overbought. VUL might be bottoming for traders. ECX saw some big broker upgrades and buy recommendations.

Feeling brave enough to call the end of the bond market panic after the RBA meeting yesterday. All the headlines they needed to put out they put out. Interest rates are not going up in the short term. Bond Yields are going down again and the equity market is relaxing. The iron ore price dropped 6%. Looking to time the bottom on the iron ore stocks still. Facebook gets rid of faces. COP 26 losing focus as the US have a spat with China and Russia. FOMC Meeting tonight. US jobs numbers on Friday. Bank dividends coming up.

Today we have a look at the interest rate scare last Friday and wonder whether it will continue this week. RBA meeting today of course with the FOMC on Thursday morning our time. We also look at the bank sector after the disappointing Westpac results yesterday. We talk about Marketech,  an independent trading platform with integrity that we have partnered with. NWL bids for PPS which is the platform our SMAs sit on, which could be better for our investors. And Macquarie Boffins assess the Cup betting.

I will be launching the new MARCUS SPI section on November 9. We preview that along with the Maverick Portfolio (MP Portfolio). A good spot for all ideas, quality, irresponsible or otherwise. Today we have a strategy summary with clear instructions for investors and traders. We also talk about “Secret Thoughts” we probably shouldn’t have or publish. We have an update on POS, three “Barking Dog” ideas, Chris has a reopening trade and we publish a US reporting calendar (150 companies report this week). Plenty of other stuff to go on. Enjoy.
