This is not a boast but merely an indication of the volatility of the market and how quickly it can change. Using my personal portfolio and a base value at 27th October by close of business yesterday the paper value of my portfolio has grown by just over R 179,000. The ALSI hasn't hit an all time in fact it is still off its high by about 1,800 points, yet my portfolio is at an all time high. So sometimes it pays to sit and wait out corrections rather than sell into a falling market
