Call 111 just ask them to email you the quote. Served by a Droid I hate talking over the phone F2F or E-mail that is all I do.

All my gains wiped of the table. This is a terrible year overall actually.

Well fck my insecurities this morning... Question is when to get out of these gold stocks 'cos when they fall, boy... do they fall.

Every single murder case from here on forward in SA will use this case to get a lesser sentence. Masipa fcked up once again.

Oscar sentence for 6 years! WTF the SA justice system is a joke.

If I had the money I would buy all the way to the bottom they won't close. Does anyone know what affects the JSE's share price? ( JSE:JSE) I want to buy them.

I wonder how Vodacom's cancellation policy works? I walked into a branch saturday to ask and they said they can't cancel or advise me on the process in a branch that must be done over the phone, I was like WTF?

Eish! That can't be a cheap exercise I would imagine.

I have another portfolio that I manage: 25% DbxWD 25% DbxJP 25% STXIND 25% ROC I put R2K a month into this each month for the long haul, but dammit this year has not been good I think that portfolio is down 6% this year ( Still in the green overall, but YTD is -6% )

Tough month with about 40 odd domains up for renewal. But I am still aiming to put away another R6K this month into the TFSA, but I think I might come a bit short this month so realistically I am aiming for R4K at the minimum. As for the shares I am going to split it 50/50 into CTOP50 and PTXTEN like I did this month.

I think that is a good move gold is a short term hold. I see Capco is falling freely I honestly thought 57 would be bottom line, but now. I don't know anymore JSE:CCO is falling rapidly.

Basically means you can now cash out sooner than we could before. Overall this is good news Whenever you buy or sell a stock, bond or mutual fund, there are two important dates of which you should always be aware: the transaction date and the settlement date. The abbreviations T+1, T+2, and T+3 refer to the settlement date of security transactions and denote that the settlement occurs on a transaction date plus one day, plus two days, and plus three days. As its name implies, the transaction date represents the date on which the transaction occurs. For instance, if you buy 100 shares of a stock today, then today is the transaction date. This date doesn't change whatsoever as it will always be the date on which you made the transaction. However, Settlement date is little trickier because it represents the time at which ownership is transferred. Now, it's important to understand that this doesn't always occur on the transaction date and varies depending on the type of security with which you are dealing. If you buy (or sell) a security with a T+3 settlement on Monday, and we assume there are no holidays during the week, the settlement date will be Thursday, not Wednesday. The T or transaction date is counted as a separate day.

I need more money before dividends excite me. The PTXTEN the more I read about it the more I like it. I think I am going to try and push that as high as possible. I wonder what is the bare minimum money you need in order to move to a income based portfolio?

So Monday is upon us what factors will play a role this week I see that Trusco said on Friday that shareholders should practice cautioun when trading in shares until the diamond deal is done so that quite interesting I think I will just hold my Trusco shares for the time being. On the other hand I really hope we can make some progress this week with PTXTEN and CTOP50 so much so that I can be on the green despite a bad day or two. Same with DBXWD, DBxJP and STXIND

What does it mean when they say it will not be material to the group? I'm still a noob

That to me looks like a price rocket is coming 2018.... I will be buying TAS all the way.

TAS is a weird one I am comfortable buying little little every time it hits below 230 cents, but I won't like this to continue, but I think we will remain in these 210 - 250 levels for a few months then when our economy gets a bit better and people can afford to eat out again then TAS will be able to release a positive looking result hopefully and I believe if those factors fall in place that is what will start the slow bullish years to come for TAS, but it won't happen until average citizens's money becomes more again, since now everyone is turning around there hard earned money to afford basic goods which has sky rocketed tremendously. I use myself as an example I have 2 dominoes one next to me and one further down, but I don't go there like I use to do this time last year and the simple reason is, petrol is up, bread is up, eggs is up, chicken is up, red meat is ridiculous up, basic stuff like toilet paper, cleaning appliances everything is up and average people just can't justify eating out in these conditions, I believe that plays a role in why Taste holdings is struggling currently well not struggling I mean why there share price is not too bright investors probably figure they will just buy more TAS once the economy recovered and average people can afford luxury food again.

I assume we are just in a bad time economically and this will phase over because today wiped out all my profit again.

Wow this really explain the PTXTEN etf so good. I think I must bring my holdings in him up more. @Hamster you like the PTXTEN right? https://justonelap.com/etf-understanding-proptrax-ten/ Simon Brown is just amazing I love him #Nohomo. When does PTXTEN pay out dividends? I wonder how this would work out: PTXTEN ( R1 000 000 ) vs Owning a property of R1 000 000

I had this same idea!!! I just never perused it, because you need a lot of money for the dividends to mean anything. This is a very good webinar where he speaks about this briefly if I remember correctly. Video: Dividends in investing [video=youtube]

@AstroTurf yea that placed things into perspective must be good being a Russian since they are the old apartheid with all the sanctions against them no outside economic issues has any barring on them they just Russian forward.

Neither did I (:

From investopedia.com Why don't stocks begin trading at the previous day's closing price? Most stock exchanges work according to the forces of supply and demand, which determine the prices at which stocks are bought and sold. What this means is that no trade can occur until one participant is willing to sell the stock at a price at which another is willing to buy it, or until an equilibrium is reached. If there are more buyers than sellers, the stock's price will rise due to increased demand. On the other hand, if more people are selling a stock, its price will decrease. During a regular trading day, the balance between supply and demand fluctuates as the attractiveness of the stock's price increases and decreases. These fluctuations are also why closing and opening prices are not always identical. In the hours between the closing bell and the following day's opening bell, a number of factors can affect the attractiveness of a particular stock. For example, good news such as a positive earnings announcement may be issued, increasing a stock's demand and raising the price from the previous day's close. Conversely, bad news can negatively affect price with less demand for the shares. Along with good and bad news, the development of after hours trading (AHT) also has a major effect on the price of the stock between closing and opening bells. AHT used to be restricted to institutional investors and high net worth individuals; however, with the development of electronic communication networks (ECNs) AHT is now available to average investors. With wider spreads and liquidity than what is seen during the day, AHT creates greater volatility in a stock's price.
