Overnight Commentary
United States Commentary
US stocks fell for the second session, the Dow down 24.7 pts, and the S&P 500 off 0.6% and back below 1,000 pts. Jobless numbers
were reasonable, but further falls by P&G and weakess in commodities, coupled with concerns over tonights official unemployment
number, were enough to keep the market in the red.

Eco - Initial Jobless Claims fell to 550k (vs 580k forecast), from 588k, although Continuing Claims rose to 6310k (vs 6291k exp'd) from
6241k. While Chain Store Sales fell a further 5.0% in July, after falling 5.1% in June.

Industrials - Once again Procter & Gamble was the worst on the day, off 4.5% and taking 18.5pts, after the world's largest household-
products maker yesterday reported fourth-quarter profit fell 18 percent as consumers curbed spending on higher-priced skin care and
detergents in the recession, switching to cheaper generic options

Resources - Base metals fell as a rally in the US dollar, following yesterday's unexpected contraction in US services, fueled concern
that the near doubling of prices may be exaggerated, and trimmed demand for commodities as a hedge against inflation. Nickel, zinc
and aluminium all fell 4%, and Alcoa lost 3.6% after the moves.

Retail - Gap Inc rose 8.2% after the largest US clothing retailer raised it's second-quarter earnings forecast to as much as 32
cents/share, above the average analyst estimates of 27 cents/share. Macy's Inc added 5.6% after the dept store raised its 2Q earnings
forecast.

Financials - Citigroup rose 6.1% after another broker said they see 53% upside in the bank, however still expect a further $10bn
raising in 4Q 2009 in order to repay TARP2 by year-end. Morgan Stanley has agreed to pay $950m to redeem warrants that the US
Treasury received in October when it bought $10bn of preferred stock.

United Kingdom & Europe Commentary


The FTSE 100 was up 0.9% or 43pts as the BoE unexpectedly expanded its quantitative easing program by £175bn. The FTSE
Eurofirst 300 was up 0.4%, the DAX climbed 0.3% and the CAC was up 0.6%

Eco - The BoE purchased £50bn in long-dated gilts, the move is a drastic way to lower bond yields. The market reacted positively but
some commentators think the move means the UK economy is in much worse shape than the market thinks it is. The BoE and ECB
kept rates on hold as expected.

Euro Banks - KBC, the largest Belgian lender by market value, helped lift the sector after posting an unexpected profit for 2Q, the
stock soared 22.5%. Belgian rival Fortis was up 5.8%, Natixis jumped 15.8%, SocGen added 3.3% but Commerzbank was off 0.6%
after revealing further losses from their takeover of Dresdner.
UK Banks - The sector was stronger as Lloyds, up 12.4%, continued its strong run. Two brokers said hopes of a recovery look well
founded and reiterated their buy calls. RBS was up 9.75%, Barclays added 5.2% and HSBC was up 5.4%.

Insurers - Zurich Financial, one of the world’s leading insurance groups, rose 1.2% after the Swiss group posted a better-than-
expected net profit in spite of a more challenging market. Legal & General was up 4%, Prudential climbed 1.9% and Aviva ended 5.4%
higher.

Industrials - Household products giant Unilever, up 5.4%, saw support after forecast-beating results. The company reported
unexpected growth in western European sales, helped by price cuts.

Media - Thomson Reuters was also among the top blue-chip risers, up 6.1%, after the news and financial data publisher reported a
better-than-expected quarterly profit, helped by cost cuts, and said it expected 2009 revenue to grow as the financial industry recovers.

dropped 2.1%, Xstrata was 1.3% lower and Vedanta ended down 0.3%.

Energy - Crude fell on oversupply concerns but stocks were mixed in the UK and Europe. BP was off 1%, Shell was up 1.1%, BG

SPDR S&P/ASX 200 Property Fund (SLFSZX)


The listed property sector has been one of the biggest casualties of the global financial crisis due to their high levels of
gearing, falling occupancy rates and downward property revaluations. As a result the S&P/ASX 200 property index fell
~79% from its 2007 peak. However, with property trusts now reducing debt and obtaining refinancing from the banks, the
underperforming property trust sector looks worthy of investment. You can gain exposure to the S&P/ASX 200 listed
property stocks through SLFSZX. SLF is an S&P/ASX 200 Listed Property exchange traded fund (ETF) which tracks
the performance of the listed property stocks.

Technicals

The chart above shows SLF over the past 18 months. After bottoming in March 2009, the ETF has developed a
sustained medium term uptrend with higher lows and current resistance at $7.50. A breakout of $7.50 would be a
bullish signal for a continued advance of the uptrend

SPDR S&P/ASX 200 Listed Property Fund (SLFSZX)

SPDR S&P/ASX 200 Listed Property Fund (SLF) seeks to closely track, before fees and expenses, the returns and
characteristics of the S&P/ASX 200 Listed Property Trust Index. The approach is designed to provide a portfolio with low
portfolio turnover, accurate tracking, and low costs.*

The Index comprises the leading listed property vehicles in Australia and represents diversified exposure to the Australian
listed property market. Exposure is diversified geographically across Australia’s major population centres and by sector
across a range of property types, including industrial, commercial, retail and hotel/tourism.*

SLF vs XJO (ex property trust) performance over the past 3 years

Source: IRESS

The chart above compares the returns from the S&P/ASX 200 – Ex-property and SLF. It can be seen that the listed
property sector has been a big underperformer compared to the rest of the market and this underperformance has
increased over the past month, despite property companies improving their balance sheets. Look for this
underperformance to reverse as the listed property companies de-risk and sell underperforming assets.
Using SLFSZX to gain exposure to listed property index

Instalment Current Share


Underlying SFI Code Stop Loss Approx. SFI Value
Payment Price
SLF SLFSZX $3.5267 $3.88 $7.38 $3.85

Reasons to buy SLF:

* Listed property has significantly underperformed the rest of the market, particularly in the most recent rally
* A major concern for the smaller property trusts has been refinancing debt, however banks are more likely to re-
finance the property trusts rather than taking the properties onto their own balance sheets and then having to
manage them
* Occupancy rates are still high, particularly in retail property which makes up a large proportion of the overall
SLF portfolio (predominantly WDC)
* Major property compmanies have undergone capital raisings to improve their balance sheets and de-risk
* SLF offers an attractive yield with any franking credits an added bonus
* SLF gives you exposure to the whole sector, which reduces the risk of being exposed to problems of any
individual company.

STRATEGY – Using SLFSZX and WDCKZR to gain exposure to listed property ex-WDC

For investors out there who are looking to gain exposure to a basket of listed property stocks without the 46% exposure to
Westfield Group (WDC), a strategy to consider would be long SLFSZX and then short WDC thorugh WDCKZR MINI
short. This strategy would give you upside exposure to all the stocks in SLF except WDC.

The Bear Cage:

Retail Sector (JBHKZP,DJSKZP,HVNKZP) – Stimulus spending to end


The retail sector has significantly outeprformed the market in the first half of CY2009 with sales holding up strong despite
the deteriorating economic environment. During this period Australian unemployment has held up better than expected,
government stimulus efforts have bolstered consumer spending and low interest rates have eased the pressure on loan
repayments. However, with stimulus spending set to dry up and unemployment expected to rise over the coming 6-12
months, the recent rally in retailers may be set to end. The large volume of money and Government debt created over the
past 12 months is also likley to lead to inflation which will put upward pressure on interest rates in the medium term. Play
downside in retail stocks or cover existing long positions through RBS MINI shorts.

Technicals – Big outperformance vs market

Source: IRESS

The chart above shows the relative performance of the major retailers and the S&P/ASX 200 since the beginning of
2009. JBH has been the standout performer followed by DJS and then HVN. All three have significantly outperformed
the XJO
JB Hi Fi (JBHKZP)
Since hitting a $17 peak in 2007 JBH retraced back to $7 in line with the overall market in 2008. However since
November 2008 the stock has staged a big recovery and sales growth has continued despite the economic downturn.
JBH is perhaps one of the key beneficiaries of the Governments cash handouts which were made as part of the stimulus
package. In June JBH upgraded FY09 NPAT expectations and store growth guidance. However the upgrade is now more
than priced into the current share price and JBH is approaching the big resistance level at $17. With stimulus spending
likley to dry up and unemployment set to continue to rise, the stock looks fully priced. Play a pullback off $17 resistance in
JBHKZP

Source: IRESS

• JBH upgraded FY09 NPAT expectations to cA$92m and upgraded to its store growth guidance, now anticipating
160 large-fit stores and 50 small-fit stores
• Sales/earnings growth rates will surely come under pressure in FY10F
• JBH now trading on over 18x P/E and a ~2% dividend yield
• While the company is likley to continue to underpin earnings growth through its store rollout, the stock looks fully
priced
• RBS Research target price $15.35
• Play short at $17 resistance through JBHKZP

Harvey Norman (HVNKZP)

HVN released its FY09 sales last week which came in line with RBS Research expectations. However the concern going
forward for HVN is the ability to continue to achieve sales and margin growth in FY10. The lack of further fiscal stimulus to
assist sales in FY10F combined with an Irish business that remains in steep profit decline suggests a tough 1H10F and
possibly FY10F is on the cards. RBS target price $3.50 with a HOLD recommendation. The stock has encountered
resistance at the $3.50 level a number of times. Play HVN downside through HVNKZP

Source: IRESS

• While FY09 sales matched RBS Research expectations, we note they were supported by the Olympics, two fiscal
stimuli and small business tax breaks in Australia.
• In the absence of further fiscal stimuli, we question whether a modest underlying improvement in Australia’s
economy will be sufficient to leverage this higher market share during the next 12 months into strong profit growth.
• In addition, Ireland appears to be getting worse
• Any increase in unemployment is likley to have an impact on HVN particularly in the bigger ticket items space.

David Jones (DJSKZP)
DJS 4Q09 sales result yesterday was a solid finish to a year of disappointing sales growth. Total 4Q09 sales growth of
+0.6% (RBS: -1.4%) reflected a continuation of June’s mid-single-digit sales growth through July. The stock was down
sharply however as the stock looks fully priced at current levels. The question remains whether May and June sales
growth is fiscal-stimulus-led, which combined with the cycling of one-off positives in FY10F suggests caution on the
outlook. RBS Research have a $4.65 target price on DJS and a HOLD recommendation. The recent move over $5
appears to be overdone and the stock is fully priced. Happy to remain short DJS

Source: IRESS

• Although DJS upgraded guidance, the upgrade provides little insight into the drivern of the revised outlook (fiscal
stimulus vs cost-out vs improved underlying consumer sales)
• RBS Research believe it is too soon to assess a recovery in discretionary retail, and David Jones in particular.
• Stronger than expected sales growth in May and June were likely due to fiscal stimulus spend. July sales are
forecast to turn negative again
• The recent run in the share price looks overdone and the stock is now above RBS Research $4.65 target price.

therefore 6% below RBS US$3.4bn forecast
• Importantly NWS provided guidance for high single digit operating profit growth in FY10, from a base of US$3.44bn. This implies
operating profit of cUS$3.7-3.8bn in FY10. Bloomberg consensus is at currently at the low end of this range (US$3.70bn, 7%

Outlook and portfolio positioning


We believe we are in the ‘late stage’ of the recession. For some time we have expected the equity market to move largely
sideways for the rest of the year due to a very benign economic outlook. With somewhat more optimistic growth signs
emerging, reporting season will be an important reference point to assess whether they are having an impact at the
business coal face. We continue to reposition our model portfolio for economic recovery.

Australia's performance vs the world


In local currency, the All Ordinaries (+7.6%) outperformed the US S&P 500 (7.4%), but underperformed the regional
MSCI ex Japan Index (+12.0%) and the World MSCI ex Australia Index (+8.3%).

The best and worst performing sectors


All sectors posted a positive performance for the month of July except Health Care (-3.3%). The best performers were
Industrials (+10.0%), Materials (+9.5%), Consumer Discretionary (+9.4), Financials ex Property (+8.5%) and Information
Technology (+7.8%).

The top five and bottom five performing S&P/ASX 200 stocks
The top five performers from the S&P/ASX 200 (price) Index for the month included Mincor Resources (+41.9%), Pacific
Brands (+39.2%), WA Newspapers (+38.3%), Goodman Group (+37.8%) and Eastern Star Gas (+36.3%). The bottom
five performers were Carnarvon Petroleum (-17.2%), Hastings Diversified (-16.5%), St Barbara (-15.2%), Transpacific
Industries (-14.6%) and Tower Australia (-11.4%).
