This seems like a pretty accurate view of what was going on in December. seems we have a fight on between two very wealthy families: http://m.fin24.com/fin24/BizNews/named-van-rooyens-two-gupta-advisors-who-almost-hijacked-sa-treasury-20160215

Seems like Zuma is toast.
I started here with nothing and still have most of it left.

I'm watching it had back to normal levels with a big sigh of relief, you've been right before about other things Orca, I'm hoping you are again here!

If Zuma resigns tomorrow - then it should head back to below R 10 to the US$ >:D

No. Inflation will catch up to inhibit further strengthening of the ZAR.

Only 7 working days left to max out your tax free savings account. If you haven't put R30k into it (for each of your family members) make sure you do, even if it means selling your regular holdings. ABSA stockbrokers and Easy Equities are the cheapest providers around.

Well I am presently negotiating with my stock brokers to open a TFSA account, whereby fees will waived or significantly reduced due to my share portfolio being held with them (normal mst, strate fees etc will apply), and they can show my holding on the same platform - so will be happy if I get this right
