“Some importing companies could be in a bit of strife with the dollar dropping,’’ Wealth Within analyst Janine Cox says. “It's the time to look for quality companies that have reported good results and have rising share prices. If you have all those things lined up that means the big money is getting behind those shares and that’s what investors should look for. “It’s not the time to look for cheap stocks or trying to buy stocks that are falling...

How to Protect Your Money in a Volatile Share Market

Commonwealth Bank - 04 Nov. 14
