JSE:LEW actually looks more attractive: for example: Lewis Group LTD (JSE:lew) has a current price of R44.98 per share, and a dividend of R3.02 per share. - If I buy 100 shares: R44.98 x 100 = R4498, - wait until 2016/07/11 for the payout of R3.02 x 100 = R302 - sell the shares again. - getting R302 from the initial amount of R4498 means a growth of 6.7% in a week. - (ignoring fees etc., and my total lack of how financial maths works...) Although only slightly more than Invicta, but the lower share price means I could buy three times as much and save on the fees...

Speaking of shareforum.co.za, you can change the leaderboard to show who has the highest Net Worth, or the highest dividends received. This guy http://www.shareforum.co.za/competition/com_holdings_public.php?user_id=2307&year=current is 10th on the leaderboard and has received R250k so far in dividends. Look it his history and current holdings. All his money in Netcare, waiting for the dividend payout on 2016/07/11. He has 24906 shares, but Netcare's dividend is only 36c...

Does anyone here know anything about dividends??? I'm thinking about buying shares in companies right before they pay dividends, take the dividends and then sell the shares. Unless the shares are doing well... As in, can I buy shares in a certain company on its Last Day to Trade, wait (+- week and a half) for the pay out date, and sell the shares keeping the money from the dividends as a quick profit??? found this list of upcoming dividends: http://www.moneyweb.co.za/tools-and-data/dividend-watch/ for example: Invicta Holdings LTD (JSE:IVTP) has a current price of R96.05 per share, and a dividend of R6.31 per share. - If I buy 100 shares: R96.05 x 100 = R9605, - wait until 2016/07/11 for the payout of R6.31 x 100 = R631 - sell the shares again. - getting R631 from the initial amount of R9605 means a growth of 6.3% in a week. - (ignoring fees etc., and my total lack of how financial maths works...) Can this be done?

Ja nee, this boost from ptxten means my TFSA is now only -3.13% in the red...

Now is a good time to buy anything in the TFSA, I put in R30k only two weeks ago. 2 days before Brexit I was in the green with 3.4% growth, mainly from divtrx and stxind. right now I'm in the red with 4.51%

I've been using them for years and rarely have had issues, I use it at work in midrand and at home in Centurion with great service... I'm not trying to promote them at all, and I'll be moving to Afrihost come September.

So, was anyone smart/lucky enough to make some good money out of Brexit? Apart from Gold going through the roof, bitcoin also surged up. While reading up on it now, I found a newly launched SOUTH AFRICAN currency, Pipcoins: https://mypipcoins.com/ and http://www.pipcoinsa.com Basically another big Ponzi scheme, promising amazing returns immediately, referral bonuses, 1 pipcoin = R100 (i.e. stays a flatrate somehow) etc...

I got the LG G3 on contract the week it came out, from Virgin Mobile, phone + 1gb + R200 Airtime, for R400pm... Cheapest flagship phone that I could get in Sept 2013. Have been with Virgin for years now, they piggyback on Cell C's network, which makes them cheap... Thinking about keeping the phone when the contract expires in September, and going to afrihost mobile, really cheap, and as far as I can tell they use MTN's network

If you look at the last 5 years on the graph, it spikes 50-60% and drops again, here and there, looks like some people made a lot of money doing something dodgy back then...

I just did the same via EFT, but mine showed in EE after 3 minutes... Just as long as you choose the right bank's account, it shows up quick

I left a bit of cash in my TFSA to buy something when a price looks good, since STXIND took such a big fall this morning, buying some at a big discount! The offer price is the same as the last traded price, does anyone here have a live prices account somewhere that knows whats happening to the INDI right now?

I bought a R500 basket with easy equities yesterday, EVERYTHING went red this morning, except Newgold that went up with 10%. Some falling with 18%... Perhaps I should buy more into this basket, seeing as how EVERYTHING is at a massive discount now...

pretty cool brexit infographic: http://www.bloomberg.com/graphics/2016-brexit-watch/

Sold mine just now: 14% profit! score!

I know, I know, so do I. I only mentioned it for perspective, if you were lucky enough to buy in the start of the upturn in February...

I only just spotted this today: https://www.investec.co.za/products-and-services/investing/structured-products/equity-index-structured-products/usd-wealth-accelerator.html Has anyone looked into this? From their documents: "At the maturity date, the investor received 2 times the growth of the Index to a cap of 27.5% in US Dollars. For example, if the Index has risen by 20% the Investor will receive a return of (2x 20%) = 40%. However, as this investment return is measured in USD, if the Rand has depreciated by 10% from say R13.50 to R14.85, the Investor receives the geared return of 40% converted back into Rand at R14.85 for a 44% total return. Similarly, if the Rand has appreciated by 10%, the return will be 36.00%. This is a JSE listed instrument and as such, the Investor will receive payment of this return in Rands. " Summary of offering A 3.5-year growth investment linked to the performance of the S&P 500 Index 2 times geared exposure to the growth in the Index capped at 55% in in USD 100% downside protected at maturity in Rands Minimum investment of R100 000 Daily liquidity provided on the JSE The S&P 500 has only gained 2.2% Year to date, but if you look from 11th Feb to today it gained 14.21%. Meaning 28.42% through the Investec fund (if you were lucky enough to buy in the slump in February...). what will it look like in 3.5 years?

Not finding anything anymore, searched for android, iphone, xbox, xda, nothingcomes up!! Reinstalling. Edit: reinstalled. Found the forum first try....

Why can't i find this forum in my Tapatalk??? I've tried different searches all with no results...

OK, that certainly clarifies it a bit. If the buy in is low enough, I'd like to be part of it. I'm looking at long term growth, in different areas than where my current long term investments are

How does this investment club work anyway? Do we all contribute a certain amount monthly and then hope the chairperson knows what he's doing when he decides to invest in something? (I only ask this because I sure as hell have no idea what I'm doing when I try to invest...)

Holy shiaat, 4 properties at 28 years old? R100 000 in satrix and R50 000 in his TFSA and more in a regular 7% savings account??? that's over R2 million in assets. And he's younger than me. shiaat. Wonder if this person actually exists? "Pinch of salt needed"

Tell us more. What your interests.... Finance, etc? Trying to learn more about investing, looking for ways to better grow my savings than where it is at the moment. Mostly through reading the forums and hoping that everyone actually knows what the hell they're talking about!

So I'm trying to buy this basket offering, and I get this message: "The total bundle investment limit has been reached." and it won't let me purchase, even with the demo money, any ideas??

dankie dankie!
