[Non-highlighted parts appeared in Part One on Thursday<\/em>]<\/p>\n Conviction Calls<\/strong><\/u><\/p>\n By Rudi Filapek-Vandyck, Editor FNArena<\/p>\n Amidst plenty of share market commentary and controversy, portfolio managers at stockbroker Morgans<\/strong> have stuck by Corporate Travel ((CTD)), telling clientele they're are satisfied with management's response to short seller VGI, believing share price weakness might stick around for a while but it doesn't appear to be justified.<\/p>\n In addition, Morgans' Balanced Model Portfolio has added exposure to Sydney Airport ((SYD)) while also reporting a watchlist is being kept with specific focus on major banks, ResMed ((RMD)), Reliance Worldwide ((RWC)) -to buy some more- PWR Holdings ((PWH)), Ramsay Health Care ((RHC)) -with possible intention to sell- and Motorcycle Holdings ((MTO)). The latter is considered "too cheap to sell".<\/p>\n Those responsible for managing the stockbroker's Growth Model Portfolio have been left licking their wounds, as the portfolio includes Corporate Travel and Motorcycle Holdings, but portfolio managers see "compelling value" emerging in lots of places now that the share market experiences melt downs regularly.<\/p>\n For now, the portfolio has added shares in Oil Search ((OSH)) and OZ Minerals ((OZL)), while trimming its position in People Infrastructure ((PPE)). Here the watchlist consists of ResMed, Reliance Worldwide, PWR Holdings, and Motorcycle Holdings.<\/p>\n In terms of yield plays, Morgans' favoured exposures remain Viva Energy REIT ((VVR)) and Centuria Metropolitan REIT ((CMA)) and, in case large cap exposure is a requirement, Stockland Group ((SGP)) and Mirvac Group ((MGR)).<\/p>\n ****<\/p>\n Stock pickers at Wilsons<\/strong> have brushed off and updated their selective list of Conviction Calls which triggered the removal of Afterpay Touch ((APT)) and also the fresh inclusions of Equity Trustees ((EQT)) and GWA Group ((GWA)).<\/p>\n Keeping their spot on the list: Bravura Solutions ((BVS)), ARQ Group ((ARQ)), Collins Foods ((CKF)), Ruralco ((RHL)), Ridley Corp ((RIC)), Nanosonics ((NAN)), ImpediMed ((IPD)), Pinnacle Investment ((PNI)), Noni B ((NBL)), Ausdrill ((ASL)), Mastermyne ((MYE)), and NRW Holdings ((NWH)).<\/p>\n ****<\/p>\n Analysts at Morningstar<\/strong> also updated their "Best Stock Ideas"; ideas picked because, on their assessment, share prices are below fair value and thus too cheap. Four changes were made: Link Administration ((LNK)) and Macquarie Group ((MQG)) are now included, while MYOB Group ((MYO)) and Ramsay Health Care ((RHC)) lost their spot.<\/p>\n Remaining on the list: a2 Milk ((A2M)), Aveo Group ((AOG)), G8 Education ((GEM)), InvoCare ((IVC)), Pendal Group ((PDL)), Telstra ((TLS)), Westpac ((WBC)), and Woodside Petroleum ((WPL)).<\/p>\n ****<\/p>\n Stockbroker Morgans<\/strong> also updated its selection of High Conviction Stocks last week which saw the removal of Noni B, alongside the inclusion of ResMed and Lovisa Holdings ((LOV)).<\/p>\n Retaining their spot on the list: OZ Minerals, Reliance Worldwide, Westpac, PWR Holdings, Volpara Health Technologies ((VHT)), Kina Securities ((KSL)), CML Group ((CGR)), and Australian Finance Group ((AFG)).<\/p>\n Bond Yields & Decelerating Growth<\/strong><\/u><\/p>\n The global sell-off in equities is no longer about readjusting to higher rates and higher bond yields, as was the case earlier in the year; this time around the world is increasingly uncomfortable with the prospect of decelerating growth into 2019.<\/p>\n The chart that illustrates (almost perfectly) the worries that have seeped into global investors' minds was taken from a recent edition from The Gartman Letter, though it probably originates from a report issued by Credit Suisse.<\/p>\n Rudi On TV<\/strong><\/u><\/p>\n My weekly appearance on Your Money (the channel formerly known as Sky News Business) is now on Mondays, 1-2pm.<\/p>\n Rudi On Tour<\/strong><\/u><\/p>\n -ASA Parramatta, on November 14, 5.30-7pm<\/p>\n Rudi On Tour In 2019<\/strong><\/p>\n -ASA Inner West chapter, Concord, Sydney, March 12 (This story was written on Tuesday 12th November 2018.
