Monitor Moneyweb and the like? It'll be in the news and there might be IPO notifications from your broker.

Don't think it will affect any of them all that much. Once Zero lists, different story maybe. Also waiting for Discovery Bank

I dunno how else to explain it. You can only fill up your TFSA at a certain rate. If the assets in it need to produce income you need as much of it in there as possible. Income from within a TFSA will have a major tax benefit over income from outside of a TFSA. It's actually a pretty straightforward concept.

That's what they said and I reckon it is a daft idea because their main reason for doing it is do that they can have access to the funds that would be stuck in the TFSA otherwise. That means you are saving wrong and out of your means. Your TFSA is a long term savings vehicle for retirement one day. University fees, home deposits, general emergencies - these are all things you should be budgeting for and saving for. Saying one needs to keep it outside of the TFSA because you may need comes down to *bad word* please do not do that poor planning (to be blunt). And I'm not sure if they missed the basic logic and compound growth class, but you want to max out your TFSA as quickly as you can to take advantage of the tax free growth even if it isn't that much. The end goal is to one day switch those growth assets into income assets and the more you have at that point in time the higher the incone is going to be. Every year you wait that number is getting smaller and you also risk not being able to use it to the maximum one day because you waited to long (the limits will increase).

And I picked STXWDM over SYGWD because there's something about Sygnia managing ETFs that just doesn't feel right unless you use it via their Alchemy platform.

Consolidating and rebalancing my TFSA like this easily cost me about 0.5% of my portfolio. Transaction fees are a real bitch but luckily EasyEquities is cheap. Imagine you did that on OST or FNB etc. SYG4IR...well I've sold it off now so chances are it'll skyrocket. It just doesn't have a place in my portfolio since I don't want my offshore exposure too fragmented. Almost went ASHGEQ instead of WDM+EMG for the same reason.

So I updated/rebalanced my TFSA: STXQUA: 35% STXWDM: 40% STXEMG: 10% PTXTEN: 15% More consolidated and to the point Took a bit of a "gamble" on STXQUA. But when I saw the constituents and that a lot of them are in that share portfolio I put together I thought "why not"

New year, new bragging rights competition: http://investorchallenge.co.za/ Maybe our esteemed leader will get his act together and start a PW group for us.

Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle (2017) 8/10 Really enjoyed it. The humour was great and just "stupid" enough for it not to be too childish. The children also didn't get that much screentime which probably helped a lot

Unless you need functionality like stop loss and limit orders Easy Equities is the way to go. ABSA ETF Only is also cheap if you are only dealing with ETFs and gives you all the nice stuff a regular platform should.

Deutschland! Wie gehts?

I don't understand. What do you mean "no meat"?

Coindata.co.za is better so there

Well look who is here!

Greetings young one

I reckon he needs a PW mug just for the effort alone

And the longest post of the decade award goes to...

I've only used Bitfinex for trading, probably because I do not need to get verified to use it (but can only enter via Cryptocurrencies). That and they have a decent API

I fixed it. Methinks it is shameless self-promotion to drive traffic to his site where he has crypto data. I removed the link - he can come back and post the link to the actual article if he wants.

Capitec to FNB should take more than a day because it goes through Bankserv. If it normally takes only a few hours then that is news to me unless you use a clear now option or something.

Might not be the best way but: 1. Buy Ripple on AltcoinTrader.co.za OR 1. Buy BTC/ETH somewhere 2. Transfer to Bitfinex 3. Sell for USD 4. Buy Ripple

Which bank to which bank?

Oh screw it. There are ways but the effort required... just not worth it. Linking CoinData is get's my vote.
