From the Daily Telegraph:
It is the question economists and investors alike have been peddling for some years now.
When will this unprecedented bull market come crashing to a prolonged halt?
The increasingly buoyant Australian stockmarket is just about to complete its 17th year uninterrupted of growth and upward momentum.

So if now is a good time to invest, what should one be looking at?
Well, today The Daily Telegraph makes it easy for you.
