The ASX200 is eyeing a fall of 0.2% at the open following last week’s 0.5% gain.

With economic growth data in the spotlight in the US, UK and in Australia, we will learn how we splurged on retail sales in November.

Today all eyes will be on the increased restrictions in NSW, with some thinking restrictions will tighten again before Christmas. Investors will also be weighing up that a US stimulus deal has not yet been agreed upon and that the US could soon have another vaccine in circulation, as the FDA approved Moderna’s vaccine as being ‘safe and effective’.

What to watch today:

• Potential selling in travel and tourism stocks. All eyes will be on Webjet (ASX:WEB), Qantas (ASX:QAN) and Sydney Airport (ASX:SYD).
• As people spend more time at home and stock up for Christmas, keep an eye on Woolworths (ASX:WOW) and Coles (ASX:COL).
• All eyes will be on healthcare stocks as COVID-19 resurges in NSW like Blackmores (ASX:BKL), Fisher & Paykel (ASX:FPH) and Ansell (ASX:ANN).

Local trading ideas:

• Respiratory mask company CleanSpace (ASX:CSX) is a Bell Potter buy and was given a new $7.65 target. That implies 18% upside in a year as CleanSpace upgraded its earnings guidance for the second time this year.
• UBS called Mineral Resources (ASX:MIN) a buy for the first time, giving the mining services business a $41.90 price target.
• Citi increased Bapcor’s (ASX:BAP) price target to $8.85 and reiterated its buy rating.
• Tabcorp (ASX:TAH), Vita Life Sciences (ASX:VLS) and Elders (ASX:ELD) are all showing bullish charting signals according to Trading Central.

In today's episode, I am joined by Syd Wilder. Syd Wilder is an actress, model, writer, and digital influencer. She grew up in Marietta, GA as your average fat kid with high cholesterol and a boy’s haircut. Luckily, puberty hit her like a freight train and a few years later she grew out her hair and traded coasts in favor of Los Angeles. 

Syd has carved her own path in the comedy world with her ditzy, dark and devilish sense of humor. She’s written, produced, and starred in original sketches that have amassed over 60 million views across multiple digital platforms such as: Funny or Die, College Humor, and Huffington Post.  She has appeared on Tosh.0 (Comedy Central), Men at Work (TBS), and recently the feature film Laid In America released by Universal. 

Syd’s modeling has been featured in Maxim, FHM, and Sports Illustrated. She was named Ask Men’s Top 99 Crush List of 2016 and Playboy’s Top 10 Hottest YouTuber’s of 2015. She’s also frequently asked by her family members to post photos wearing more clothing, which she’s actively working on.

She won a Hollywood Comedy Shorts award for her original web series, Fab Life Teresa XO. The same series was also screened at the prestigious Holly Shorts Festival. Syd describes herself as a glamorous goofball who loves to push the envelope with her cynically optimistic comedy. She continues to create online content and original characters for her social platforms. Syd enjoys dancing when she has free time and she will always have a special place in her heart for the awkward fat kid.
