Sasol I think is a good thing to have in your portfolio for some oil exposure in the long haul, but I don't own them yet.

 

MTN on the otherhand eish tomorrow is my D-day when I was under the impression that it would have been a R135 stock. So now I need to keep it for longer avg purchase price is R127.

Was also holding onto MTN, but sold for profit and bought gold stocks instead, made some profit there and am now in the market again to buy.

 

Shoved some of my profits into Taste for long term hold.

I am too afraid to go for gold.

 

What is lonmin up to lately? I won't mind jumping back into that emotional roller coaster again.

 

Lonmin has been pretty stable ever since its previous rise to R42. I'll climb back in if it remains above R38 just before their August update production report.

What do you guys think about JSE:MAPPSG ?

 

I want to build my TFSA and that looks like a good ETF to hold for the long run

 

It is good if you combine it with some DBXWD. But if you only ever invest in a single share on the JSE, MAPPSG (and later MAPPSP) is the way to go IMO. 75% of it is equities (NFSWIX, which I own).

 

The only problem is that if you combine it with DBXWD your exposure to bonds etc become a lot less (20% of 50% of portfolio for example). You could always go do it yourself and get those bonds through separate ETFs (NFILBI and NFGOVI). More costs but greater control. This also allows you to swap out NFSWIX for STXIND or CTOP50 or whatever "local equity" ETF you prefer.

 

Also worth noting that MAPPSG is a total return ETF meaning dividends etc. are automatically reinvested for you, which is a very nice feature because that is exactly what you should be doing when looking for growth.

I see Simon doesn't like the SWIX -> http://justonelap.com/getting-grips-fees/

Indeed he doesn't. To be honest, if I prefer CTOP50 over it because I don't like one share getting such a high weighting (especially in an ETF designed to prevent it).

 

At the moment though it is paying off but I'm watching it. MAPPSG though is still very good for somebody starting out and "scared". FNB's Share Saver is another option (where I started): Top40+MidCap

I am reading up on MAPPSG, it looks like something I want, it looks stable. I think I am going to sell my MTN's if it hits R130 today and then buy into MAPPSG since MTN is a top holding in that fund. Is that fund actively managed ie MTN is very low now lets think best case scenario and it starts recovering can MAPPSG change their MTN weighing at will?

I'm still waiting for the new batch of ETF's to be launched, any idea when that is going to happen as I'd much rather put my money into those.

 

Waiting for that as well. Wonder if it will be the Black Rock ones or if there are others coming.

If it is Black Rocks then I'd be interested in one that tracks the world excluding the US.

 

With DbxUS which I own I can use one that's not US. In hindsight I should have bought DbxWD, but then again 5 years ago when I bought US it is paying off ever-since.

If you aren’t thinking about owning a stock for 10 years, don’t even think about owning it for 10 minutes.

    Naira 55 billion on 31 March 2019

    Naira 55 billion on 31 May 2019

 

In addition to the monetary settlement set out above:-

 

-   MTN Nigeria subscribes to the voluntary observance of the Code of Corporate Governance for the

   Telecommunications Industry and will ensure compulsory compliance when the said Code is

   made mandatory for the Telecommunications Industry.

 

-   MTN Nigeria undertakes to take immediate steps to ensure the listing of its shares on the

   Nigerian Stock Exchange as soon as commercially and legally possible after the date of execution

   of the settlement agreement;

 

-   MTN Nigeria shall always ensure full compliance with its license terms and conditions as issued

   by Nigerian Communication Commission (“NCC”).

 

MTN Group Executive Chairman Phuthuma Nhleko said “he expresses his thanks and gratitude to the FGN

for the spirit in which the matter was resolved and believes this is the best outcome for the Company, its

stakeholders, the FGN and the Nigerian people and that the relationship between MTN, the FGN and the

NCC has been restored and strengthened”.

 

Accordingly, shareholders are advised that they are no longer required to exercise caution when dealing in the

Company’s securities.
