Anyone here running solar, or planning on putting some solar in soon?

I've looked at it - but cannot make it work financially even slightly. The odd 2 hours power outage really does not bother me - I just go do something else. We usually have something to watch on the few laptops dotted around the house if at night - but if we get hit is normally between 14H00 - 16H00 - not a bad time for a nap.

Might get an inverter (around R1000 / 800w) and just attached it to the car battery to run tv/dstv/router - friend does that and works fine. personally, I think it's a case of going totally of grid or do something small and inexpensive. Probably would change my mind if we had 4 hour cuts regularly though... ???

I could have bought a top end four by four with what I lost.
I started here with nothing and still have most of it left.

Concentrating on the French Open - not my shares at the moment...

When you're just after dividends you can afford to care less about share prices. In fact lower prices means you can buy more with a higher yield.

You could have also bought KIO for the share price - many have done so.

As I live on dividends and only dividends, the increases or decreases are more important to me than share price. But I do no buy purely on DY - I never did buy ABL  8)

Can't see a reason - in late March they announced that Sanlam had increased its holding in TFG
Also results released are not too shabby given the current economic situation and dividend increased by 10.9%

I'm no expert but the results looked ok I guess - might want to enter a derivative  tomorrow morning as there might be some money to be made from this over reaction

@ Supersonicbaron:  Also not an expert but look at the SFP, an increase in the interest bearing borrowings of R2 000m. Investigation into the SCF reveals a negative cash flow from operations despite the profit shown in SPLOCI.  To reverse the negative cash flow, TFG made borrowings of about R2 000m (also shown in SCF, in the cash from financing section.) This coupled with a rise in interest rates expected at the end of this year is enough to make investors fearful imo and that's why TFG is tanking. Nothing like a R2b+ interest bearing monster lurking to make you run for the hills. But yeah, no expert, just an opinion.

SFP:  Statement of Financial Position
SPLOCI: Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income.
SCF:  Statement of Cash Flows
