I really hope this share won't be the one that bites me in the bum. Hovering around the low R4.00s. I am trying to think now if I should double down and buy a little more.

What medical aid fund should I choose?
Spreadsheet Ranger replied to Spreadsheet Ranger's topic in General Finance
I've been through 3 brokers they know very little and no one knew about Genisis - tried to push Discovery all the time. Brokers, medical or financial is a waste of time. (Commision based/Product pushing) -
What medical aid fund should I choose?
Spreadsheet Ranger replied to Spreadsheet Ranger's topic in General Finance
Their prices don't look too bad, I'll investigate them, right now I'm still set on Medihelp. @Bandit how important is the 200% cover from the medical aid side? Basically, if you take gap cover, does it make a difference if your medical aid only covers 100% vs 200% for example? -

Spreadsheet Ranger replied to Spreadsheet Ranger's topic in General Finance
Okay it seems Medihelp is not 200% Cover, but Genesis Medical Scheme has a plan for R1500 p/m that is a hospital plan and covers 200% https://www.genesismedical.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/Genesis-Medical-Scheme-Benefits-Contributions-2018.pdf -

Add to that this -> https://stratumbenefits.co.za/products/base-2/ Stratum benefits Base Gap Cover. Or should I rather take the normal hospital plan from medihelp (https://www.medihelp.co.za/products-and-benefits/medical-aid-2018/hospital-plan) R1 356 per month and then I add better Gap cover like the Stratum Benefits Elite Gap Cover -> https://stratumbenefits.co.za/products/elite/ Thoughts? -

I am too scared of that wait and see because in my experience when "I see", it is normally too late and the share price moved beyond the tipping point never to return again. So I decided to buy them based on these two reasons: #1 the whole Simon saying R5 bucks cash etc podcast. #2 I actually went and read through their website, I then read this article Long 4 Life L4L and then I read this article Long 4 Life Mistake I then decided to do some deeper digging, basically just reading up on Brian Joffe and how he was in the early stages of Bidvest and how he went about to build that company to what it is today. I think he has the potential to make a success of this business as an entrepreneur myself I understand very well that the results of businesses are not always clear in the beginning and since my understanding is that he will essentially invest in various companies and then shuffle the money between the ventures, I like that approach. I think Holdsport has potential under stronger management which I assume Brain will play a role in. Then Inhle Beverages, this won't be the money maker, but I do think it's a solid company and the space they are in will be a key player in SA's economy again with the added guidance it might breath new life into this company to expand and acquire bigger bottling contracts. The Sorbet Group of companies I think has potential to be one of the winners in the early stages of Long 4 Life and I think Sorbet is already in the UK as well. So I like Long 4 Life because I get the feeling it will be sort of a PSG approach and I missed the PSG boat. The only real thing that worries me is the departure of Kevin Hedderwick, he build Famous Brands into what it is today and is most definitely an entrepreneur, now my cut is asking me, why would an entrepreneurial person join and then leave a company 4 months later, unless he did not believe the company has what it takes. I do not buy the leaving to pursue personal interests claim, because at the end of the day it is all about money and he then is basically saying he can make more money in his own venture/interest than in Long 4 Life.
