Most of the time I do...just. Some of the guys on mybb take it very seriously and earn a ton of it per month. Sent from my HUAWEI VNS-L31 using Tapatalk

It's difficult because you don't know if they'll be horrible with money or not. Personally, I'd invest five or so years for them and let that money grow. Sent from my HUAWEI VNS-L31 using Tapatalk

I just carry on with everyday shopping and get eBucks back. Some do, but I don't go out of my way to earn extra eBucks other than logging onto Wesbank once a month. Sent from my HUAWEI VNS-L31 using Tapatalk

BUT, FNB premier cheque + credit card is about R300 something (all inclusive costs...so no extra costs for transactions, withdrawing etc... flat rate). Considering you get more or close to that back in eBucks every month, it is almost fair to say that FNB is the cheapest (if you put value or make use of eBucks).

DBXWD is "expensive" but not as expensive as the DBXUS and the other DBX ETFs. You cannot compare bond ETFs to it. They have vastly different roles and serve completely different purposes in your portfolio. MAPPSG does the allocation for you (75% equity, 10% inflation linked bonds, 10% government bonds and 5% cash). The equity part makes use of NFSWIX - make sure you understand it. Back in the day the top 40 was heavy with resource shares so to combat it they decided developed SWIX (share weighted index). It solved the resource share issue by removing duel listed companies from the index (they're seen as one, holding and subsidiary companies alike if I'm not mistaken). It also only considers shares available to the public to invest in. The problem? No share weighted cap and what exactly makes the amount of shares available to invest in by the public so special? And as a side effect: it stopped the top40 from being overweight on resource shares by making it overweight in industrial shares. It's a shiaatty index imho. ABSA should swop it for NFEMOM or something else in the MAP ETFs. Sent from my HUAWEI VNS-L31 using Tapatalk

Ah, cool. Momentum one would be pretty sweet

Wooot! Yay for me But I admit, it's no secret so wasn't the hardest of "guesses" to make.

@SimonPB: Question (unrelated to these ETF bundles), but have you considered creating a bundle on EasyEquities that basically tracks your momentum portfolio?

How long do you have to invest though?

Split even between NFEMOM and DBXWD

If anything the DBX ETFs are a "safer" bet now than ever before because if they fsck it up there will be major reputational damage.

Tough choice between NFEMOM and DIVTRX in the TFSA

It's not exactly true that STXIND goes up when everything falls, but a lot of times it does, and all of those times it's Naspers. Naspers' market cap is ridiculously huge and gets a lot of income from offshore.

So I finally broke even with my STXIND investment in my TFSA and sold it off which means my TFSA is currently made up of roughly equal parts foreign equity, local equity and cash. My current thinking is to keep things as is since DBXWD is climbing nicely, DIVTRX is being hammered to death and the cash is earning 7% interest (0.02% per day). I can try wait for the one extreme (Zuma fired/stays and Rand soars/plummets) and buy some ETFs at a bargain. ...or I could stop timing the market and buy the cheaper ETFs no already. Interested to hear your opinion or what you are doing at the moment.

EasyEquities: always looking after you

Waits for "credit agencies are colonialist" and "doesn't understand Africa" and any other excuse the morons can come up with.

New ABSA ETFs coming in the next couple of months. Not going to go into too much detail, but they'll compliment NFEMOM wrt factor investing. Will definitely be giving them a look

5.2 so not a biggie

So the news broke on Moneyweb last week about how the DBX ETFs will be available on Sygnia (we do wish them a speedy recovery from the whiplash on that about-turn ). It wasn't 100% clear from the article but I see Justonelap confirmed that Sygnia actually bought these ETFs. 1. Some of you can now stop worrying about Deutsche Bank going under and taking all your money with you 2. I wonder if they'll change the names: SYGWD, SYGUS etc 3. Let's hope Sygnia drops the cost of owning these ETFs and make them more affordable since some of them rank amongst the most expensive ETFs out there

Anybody else felt that this morning?
