Like the title says, the quote button doesn't work for me, unless there is some special way of using it? I'm using Google Chrome

I hope they do, not really how their platform will work at this stage though. PS..... I'm unable to "quote" what other people post as the quote button does nothing, how do you guys use quotes?

I remember Thor saying there is a pro version available, but you need to buy it. Something he was considering at the time

I was also holding onto my MTN for very long, avg was around R124, but sold at R132 as I moved into HAR/DRD a week ago. Hoping to ride this one for the next couple days. Initially I wanted to hold MTN until R145. As soon as gold drops I might move back into MTN depending on the price then. On a side note, I also bought Bidvest, they have been climbing steadily ever since the split.

My CellC contract expired, so converted it to pre-paid. Now I get 300 minutes plus 300mb data for R150 Will probably just buy a new phone next time than going back to contact again.

You are the man!

US Jobs Data came in badly, lowest since September 2010 apparently.

I have no insight on many of the shares listed on that list, so can't really say if it's good or bad. One will probably have to go through every single share history and read up a bit to figure out if it's a good deal or not, or take my usual approach and just buy stuff that sounds interesting I for one will give this one a pass.

Ah ok, that's good to know. I'm just concerned about the account fees, as well as transfer fees. From what I read there shouldn't be any, but by now we all know that what is written on the internet doesn't always apply to real world applications.

It will definitely spice things up a bit. I see ZarX will have T-0 withdraw settlement, that alone is pretty awesome! Free live pricing will win over sooooooooooo many investors, a person can dream.

Anyone else excited about the launch of the ZarX stock exchange later this year? ZarX Stock Exchange Also not forgetting A2X and 4AX stock exchanges being launched later this year apparently “Our focus will be on the top 50-65 shares listed on the JSE,” says A2X co-founder and CE Kevin Brady. “We are following the European MTF [multilateral trading facility] model.” "Also awaiting licensing is 4 Africa Exchange (4AX). With strong BEE credentials, this exchange will be targeting the listing of companies with market caps of R100m-R8bn." Source

Increase to R500 : Reason : Wanting to use Nedbank Just Invest account, which offers great interest rates, but has a minimum deposit requirement of R500 As mentioned in another thread, we can bypass this by opening another bank account with Standardbank, but that just seems a bit extreme.

Take a look at the USA, they also growing at below 1 percent this year, so surely we can't be downgraded because of slow growth. Secondly, they will probably end up with Trump as their next president, so once again, we shouldn't be punished for having Zuma. Otherwise it's double standards

I like that, polls work nice for these things. Would give us a better understanding of what people want.

Well they got us into this mess, so they better get us out, or else the people will hopefully get them out.

Proposal to raise the monthly deposit from R250 to R500, or more. Reason being Nedbank Just Invest account offers better interest rates, but the minimum deposit amount is R500. Can someone maybe open a poll for this, with figures R250, R500, R750 , R1000 ?

Alright, I'll go open it there, hopefully the firing squad has taken the day off.

I tend to agree that we will not be downgraded in June, but rather in December, however the December outcome is very much dependent on how the elections go in August and whether the country can get rid of Zuma before then.

Thanks for following up on the Just Invest account padjakkels, it's by far the better option interest wise. I know it has been said we should look at R250 p/m investment, but surely that has not been set in stone, perhaps we can increase it to R500 ? In which section of the forum can we discuss that?

I'm not a banking expert, so really wouldn't know. Always just figured that the only real differences between bank accounts are interest rates and notice periods required for withdrawals However, why would an account be flagged for people making deposits, it's called Just Invest, isn't that the reason for the deposits then, makes my head want to explode. Yes, the Investment Club account is tailored for our purposes, but it gives extremely poor interest rates. Only plus side is there are no monthly fees afaik.

You know how the saying goes, less is more. Besides, too much communication turns into spam

I would have preferred the Nedbank Just Invest account as it has one of the highest interest rates around, only problem is the minimum deposit amount appears to be R500?

I prefer the unit system, as that places no limits on members.

I like that idea. Will probably only read the "rules" over the weekend though.

Looks like you guys got this covered
