MARKET WRAP & NEWS
Each evening, we wrap up all of the big moves on the Australian share market. We'll discuss all of the latest developments for shares, including important company announcements, economic data, and commodities and overseas markets.
You can find which stocks preformed the best, the worst, and if there were any juicy rumours circulating around the market.
Here's a sample of a Market Wrap from a recent report:
PORTFOLIOS
If there are any important changes to any of our trading strategies, on any of the stocks we have covered in the Share Suggestion Pages, we'll update members in the Portfolios page.
Here, we may adjust profit targets, trail stop losses, or notify members we wish to exit existing share positions. All of the information is colour coded and very easy to understand. With a glance, you'll know exactly what changes you need to make to follow our share suggestions.

Australian Stock Report RESEARCH FILES
Australian Stock Report's research database is one of the most extensive in the industry. We have compiled comprehensive research on over 300 individual stocks (and growing), and this research is updated on a regular basis.
Members can search the Research Files Archive for specific stocks which meet their key fundamental criteria, or trawl through countless research reports to build up their knowledge on ASX listed stocks.
Here's an sample of a Research File, and an example of the search capabilities built into the report:
BROKER, INSIDER, & FUND MOVES
We compile stock recommendations from the biggest, most respected broking and research houses in the industry. They are responsible for much of the buying and selling on our share market, and for that reason, it is crucial we know what they're up to.
Members can read daily updates on the latest broker upgrades, downgrades, buy, sell, and hold recommendations, and the reasons why the brokers are changing or maintaining their view.
Also in this section, is detailed information on directors interests changes, and changes in substantial shareholdings. Our members can see exactly what the most important players in the industry are doing in key stocks.
Members can then search the combined archives of the Broker, Insider, and Fund moves to see which stocks the Brokers, company insiders, and major fund managers, are targeting at any one time.
Here's a sample of a broker recommendation, and insiders and fund moves from a previous report. Also, an example of a real search members can do in this section of the report:
UPCOMING EVENTS AND DIVIDENDS
To be forewarned is to be fore armed. Members can check this section to see up-to-6-weeks in advance, which stocks are paying dividends, holding annual general meetings, releasing company results, and when major economic announcements will be released.
In the case of upcoming results and economic data, Australian Stock Report compiles consensus estimates for each, so Members know exactly what numbers to expect. Should the results come in better than consensus, or worse - either way, our members will be prepared to act.

DISCLAIMER
Important Information:
The calculation used for the Traders Report Hypothetical Portfolio assumes a starting balance of $50,000. The Portfolio's performance refers to the potential returns which could reasonably be achieved by members who bought and sold shares as suggested in our Traders Report.
Transactions suggested in reports were not actually executed by Australian Stock Report, but the entry and exit points flagged in our Report were however able to be achieved in the market under actual market conditions and prevailing liquidity.
Fees and charges:
Due to the significant diversity in the fees charged by Stockbrokers, this data does not include any execution or settlement costs such as brokerage or financing fees. In other words, the data reports performance which doesn't take into account transaction costs. You should check with your Stockbroker or CFD Provider what fees might be incurred in executing the trades suggested by our Reports.
Future Performance:
Note that past performance of trades suggested by Australian Stock Report is not necessarily a reliable indication of future performance. Hypothetical performance results have many inherent limitations, some of which are described below. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown. In fact, there are frequently sharp differences between hypothetical performance results and the actual results subsequently achieved by any particular trading program. One of the limitations of hypothetical performance results is that they assume a certain level of transaction fees that may or may not be available to a particular investor. In addition, hypothetical trading does not involve financial risk, and no hypothetical trading record can completely account for the impact of financial risk in actual trading. For example, the ability to withstand losses or to adhere to a particular trading program in spite of trading losses are material points which can also adversely affect actual trading results. There are numerous other factors related to the markets in general or to the implementation of any specific trading program which cannot be fully accounted for in the preparation of hypothetical performance results, and all of which can adversely affect actual trading results.
