6 months vs 12 months comparison: If I compare the last 2 years, they still seem to be following the same up/down patterns:

I'm not good at reading fact sheets and trying to understand underlying funds etc, but a graph is much easier to read. They seem to follow the same up/down pattern: 6 months comparison vs 12 months:

NFEMOM is certainly interesting, if you look at the past year's performance: (What happened during July - September?????, something political? I can't remember...) I'm considering giving up on my STXIND (at -6.5% currently) and putting it all into NFEMOM or ASHMID or NFGOVI, or something

Is anybody here happy with the funds that they chose for their TFSA? Not just based on returns, but with their choices after researching fact sheets, underlying funds, future plans for those companies etc. I did my own research into funds that looked like they should perform well. Only they didn't (NFEMOM, STXIND, CTOP50, all the DBX's, MAPPSG+P etc) Found this list on some website: And charted only a few of the to see happened during the year: Feels like I should shuffle my TFSA somewhat this year, when it's time to topup the next R30k.

According to this article, there is something even better than Bitcoin or Etherium: Source: https://www.wired.com/2017/01/monero-drug-dealers-cryptocurrency-choice-fire/

Oh. Well. In that case, sorry everyone, my bad! I just googled luno and luno.co.za was the first result. Bitx isn't even in the results

Mytransunion gives you one FREE report per year. luno is R55/month. Most people don't need to see their credit status every month (if they have good credit), hence me inquiring as to whether there is a free/trail version of luno

Is there a Trail/Free version of Luno? I see it's R55/month for credit reports etc. I don't need such information every month, I just pull the one free report you get from mytransunion if/when I need it

Thanks guys. I'm surprised how informative this really is. I've linked only my FNB so far on the website, one of the nudges shows I've saved 42% of my income over the last year . But I'm pretty sure if you exclude the Christmas bonus which I fully saved, it will be a lot lower percentage. Busy getting my login details for my Allan Gray accounts, then I'll add that too

This really looks like a great app! I downloaded it now, and it asks you to link all you banking accounts to it. As in, provide login credentials for my bank accounts... How safe can this be? Is anyone using it?

Is anyone using the EE bundles for their TFSA? EE keeps on and on emailing me info on their bundles... I bought one on my demo money (not the TFSA bundle) in December just to experiment, and the "Aggressive bundle" has gained +-3% since then

Mine isn't doing to bad these days, STXIND just needs to keep going up... Seeing that i stupidly thought putting nearly half of my money into i, I'm sitting at only -1.1% in the red

This is great, thanks. I need everyone to start investing in STXIND again, my TFSA is so far down in the red because of this, i need it to reach at least 7122

I got lucky and came 17th:

That is tempting.... MUST. RESIST. Did you ever end up buying it???? With all this Black friday crap going on, I'm now actually really considering it from geekbuying.com: with free shipping (registered airmail 15-30 business days) it's $294.21... or R4151. or add $21.27 for courier, R4451

I use snap n Save, but you have to use it through Wechat. They currently have a double cash back promotion. As long as you upload your till slip through Wechat, and not the snapnsave app, you get double in your wallet... And you can use that same Wechat wallet to pay at certain places that have snapscan, and also get up to 50% back... https://wechat.co.za/snapscan-cash-back-50/

Thanks! Video updated. I've considered going to Canada, our company has a couple of branches there. But if all the Americans who swore to go there actually went, I don't want to anymore

And Samuel L Jackson said that “If that motherf*cker becomes president I will move my black ass to South Africa.” http://www.timeslive.co.za/entertainment/2016/11/09/So-will-Samuel-L-Jackson-move-to-South-Africa-now-that-Trump-has-won [video=youtube]https://youtu.be/QnTb5JDozMs

Fokk!!! I fckn new I should have done it!

Apparently the bookies in the USA (where in some states you can place bets on who will win) are placing the odds firmly on Hillary to win: http://www.fin24.com/Markets/International-Markets/uselections2016-guide-to-how-the-markets-will-react-20161107

So, when Brexit happened the markets went crazy and all the investors ran to gold, as a "safe haven" investment. What are the chances of this happening again tomorrow when the USA votes for their next president?? Could it be worthwhile buying some gold ETFs? EDIT: LOL, Nevermind. Gold dropped this morning:

So who is lucky enough to have had Lonmin in their portfolios yesterday????

What about a Bitcoin ETF??? https://www.bloomberg.com/view/articles/2016-11-01/five-reasons-the-winklevoss-bitcoin-etf-should-be-approved
