Hold on

If I had to start over I'd probably go with ASHGEQ because it is one ETF that covers almost everything including emerging markets. Combine that with MAPPSG and you have a complete portfolio. Later on you supplement it with PTXTEN for property and other ETFs where you reckon you need more exposure, like STXEMG if you reckon the Ashburton one doesn't give you enough exposure. That's what I would probably do.

Stopped buying SYGWD and continued buying STXWDM when it was released instead (lower costs). Not worth the transaction costs to merge them....yet. I'm eyeing ASHGEQ.

Belated greetings

No ETNs, no ETFs, just shares. I have an ETF portfolio. ETFRHO is doing fantastic btw.

So... what if we replace: BVT with BID KIO with BIL ?

The diversification, for me at least, comes with my ETFs and Unit Trusts. The vast majority of my investments are in funds like this to such a point where the Steinhoff mess didn't affect me that much at all. This portfolio is for shares that are "safe" and will show growth over the next 12 months. Ideally, I do not want to pick a company, take a chance and if it doesn't work out having to replace it come June with some other "next best thing". A speculative portfolio might be on the cards but I already have cryptos which are volatile AF so I have no appetite to have that kind of risk in a share portfolio at the moment

I really want to restrict it to 10. Will add those to the list (well ABinBev) and take another look

I'll track it (if I remember) and see how it goes

Can you hear it? Well? Can you?!!

We'll see. We should ask EE to make it the PW Bundle Now...to go find money because I spent it all on cryptos

All right, so after some basic research and pulling data from threads on a couple of forums etc. I've come up with this: AVI AVI Ltd. BVT Bidvest Group Ltd CLS Clicks Group Ltd SHP Shoprite Holdings Ltd DSY Discovery Ltd NPN Naspers Limited CPI Capitec Bank Holdings Limited KIO Kumba Iron Ore Ltd. RES Resilient REIT Limited SRE Sirius Real Estate Ltd

Shot, that's some really good and detailed info right there. I forgot about KIO and never even thought about PPC

So I'm looking to build a share portfolio (dividend or capital growth focussed...or both). I've got my ETFs, Unit Trusts, emergency funds etc. all sorted out and play with cryptos on the side. What I do not have is ownership of a single share to my name. So my new project is to set one up and split a monthly fee evenly between them as a start. My shortlist so far includes: DSY WHL NPN I'm looking for a couple more so any thoughts or reasoning behind some of those you hold will be appreciated PS: Shoprite and Redefine maybe?

Which one? They're all called ITRIX. I assume the new SYG4IR one?

It's there (on EE)

Anybody bought SYG4IR yet?

Nice

I'm not sure what you guys think but this is what I'm going with from this point forward (at my discretion) unless the boss tells me otherwise. There has been a slight influx of spammers and people posting threads with "hidden" referral links for the sole purpose of getting hits and most of the time it is to crappy and dodgy sites. So, if you are going to post a referral link, please don't hide it and post the whole link as is. If not and I deem it "spam" you have a permanent warning coming your way or worse. We're here posting as a community and not a referral link dumping ground for one post wonders.

I hope we get a reply because this is starting to feel like somebody just looking for YouTube traffic

ANC to report Makhosi Khoza's party to IEC over logo colours via @News24 http://www.news24.com/SouthAfrica/News/anc-to-report-makhosi-khozas-party-to-iec-over-logo-colours-20171204?isapp=true ...and there you go.

If you want to "invest" in Cryptocurrencies the South African ones are luno.com, ice3x.co.za and altcointrader.co.za (Luno being the biggest, slickest and easiest one of them all).

Do you want the common sense version or the high stakes risk/reward version that most of the younger folk on this forum subscribe to? Common sense: 1. Makes sure you have insurance (as in income protection, dread disease cover etc) 2. Settle your debt (as in bad debt...credit cards etc) 3. Build up your emergency fund (as in 6 month's worth of expenses) 4. Invest 4.1. If you don't have a pension fund, get an RA. Even if it is just for a small amount you'll at least get to take some advantage of the tax break they provide. 4.2 Set up your core investments. Unit trusts, ETFs etc. These provide a solid bedrock for capital growth and is for the long term (Buying property will probably fall in this category and with some clever financial gymnastics your emergency fund will be part of your access bond) 4.3. Once all the boring stuff above is sorted out and you are more financially secure, you move into satellite high risk/reward investments including Bitcoin I'm not a financial advisor so you should still speak to one but they'll more or less give you a similar view. OR ... Young Investor Version "I don't really understand the difference between Blockchain and Bitcoin but I heard it is the future so pump all your cash into here and HODL. You'll thank me in three years" And you may very well have to write this young bloke with no real financial obligation like a family and school fees a thank you card in three years because you may end up super rich
