Being able to comment and read comments is an excellent addition to the information contained in an article. It seems that Firstliñks readers are a well informed and financially competent mob. Pity that we seem to be in a minority.

Please have an option to get an email with only new articles, no repeated articles from previous emails. Even better, only new articles from all Morningstar email streams.

Hi Peter, you can choose to receive just the one Firstlinks email per week via email preferences (or send your request to [email protected]). Thursday's email contains our new articles and Sunday's update has added market commentary and highlighted Morningstar articles.

Thanks for letting us provide you with feedback on our interests. Anyone who is considering relocating overseas on retirement has found useful information about options for pension transfers, tax and legal issues? I mentioned this in my survey response but wonder if commenting it here may elicit comments from others.

Your coverage of superannuation- and other retirement-related matters is first rate.

I try to keep a stable portfolio and I find the heavy emphasis on stock picking is not useful and is usually ignored in favor of articles of a more general nature.
