Welcome to this week’s HotCopper Wire, our market watch podcast! Each week, HotCopper’s senior markets reporter Jonathon Davidson and I take you through the week’s biggest news headlines — and what they mean for Oz investors.

In this Week 49 episode, we talk about the ASX Limited bungle that opened Week 49 (and left as many as 80 companies high and dry), the early Christmas malaise that’s been setting in, and all the juicy Aussie GDP figures.

Also included in this one: Perseus Mining (ASX:PRU) swooping on the Predictive Discovery (ASX:PDI)Robex Resources (ASX:RXR) deal late on in the piece.
