This morning we’ll give El Joye and the crew at Rancho Rismark a break. We’ve banged on about him and them all week.
As you may have noticed, we’re not very formulaic with Money Morning. We don’t have a system where we write about one thing one day and then switch to something else the next.
Sometimes we may harp on about something for days on end. Hopefully that won’t try your patience too much, but we do like to wring as much as we can from a subject before moving on to something else.
And right now we think we’ve wrung that one pretty dry… For now!

We’re still in Australian Small-Cap Investigator mode today.
If you happen to be a subscriber to Australian Small-Cap Investigator I should let you know that the February issue will be released on Monday. If you’re not a subscriber then click here to subscribe.
Anyway, back to Money Morning…
Yesterday I wrote to you about mailbags bulging at the seams. After yesterday’s Money Morning went out, the mailbag started to bulge with responses.

Today your editor is scrambling to get the January issue of Australian Small-Cap Investigator out the door before the month draws to a close.
We’ve even put in a call to the Gregorian calendar to see if they can extend the month to 32 days so we can tie up the loose ends over the weekend. Turns out that’s not possible. We’ll just have to suffer through it and stick to our deadline!
So we’ll be shorter than normal today.
We’ve got a bunch of stuff we’d like to write on property today, but we couldn’t do it justice so we’ll leave that until tomorrow.

We’re still beavering away on the December issue of Australian Small Cap Investigator this morning. But we’ve just enough time to take a break and knock out today’s edition of Money Morning.
We were heartened by news yesterday that Standard & Poor’s (S&P) had given an AAA rating to $920 million worth of residential mortgage-backed securities issued by Westpac Banking Corporation [ASX: WBC].
According to S&P:
“The preliminary ratings reflect our opinion of the transaction’s credit support, collateral pool, servicer, and other features based on our current criteria and assumptions.”

Another quick Money Morning today as we concentrate on getting the December issue of Australian Small Cap Investigator out the door.
So rather than blathering on forever as I normally do, I’ll just make a few brief observations on the subject of superannuation this morning.
First up, we noticed the front page of today’s Australian Financial Review (AFR) with the headline:
“Super funds want risk targeted”
