The ASX has communicated to all market participants of an industry-wide ASX settlement failure that occurred on Friday the 20th of December. This failure has meant that CHESS was not able to complete market settlement on Friday and has deferred settlement to Monday the 23rd of December. For those clients who had sell trades settling on Friday we have ensured those sale proceeds have been made available to you for trading on Monday. Stock delivery for clients who had buy trades settling will need to wait until Monday before the shares become available to sell. We apologise for any inconvenience this ASX outage has caused.

- What questions you need to ask yourself before you decide where to invest next
- How option protection works and investing in a well-researched growth asset can be used as leverage
- The correlation between the property market and financial stocks and how to avoid overexposure, and
- His opinion on the inverted yield curve.
