Where can I find a list of the dates when dividinds are paid for the JSE Top40?

I normally just check the SENS of the specific stock codes. Assuming you want STX40's:

Latest distribution SENS:

...they're paying today

Okk here is a Dividend Watch on Moneyweb http://www.moneyweb.co.za/tools-and-data/dividend-watch/
I use that for the contest, the only issue is it doesn't report the ETF dividends.

How do you know whether an ETF pays dividends or not? I assume it depends on the underlying equities.

Yes. You can look at the fact sheet of the ETF. Most pay quarterly but there are a few (those tracking offshore equities by the looks of it) the payout bi-annually. If it is a "total return" ETF (like MAPPSG and NFEMOM) it automatically reinvests the dividends.

I am not an investor in REIT's but I know a number of forumites do invest in REIT's.
The Rand has supposedly strengthened against the Euro, Pound and Dollar
The quoted REIT's in this country are largely Rand denominated but invested in foreign assets. There has also been a substantial correction in housing and rentals in shopping centres

What I am interested to know is whether those who had invested in REIT's 1 or more years ago whether they are still showing profits and reasonable dividend returns or are they taking strain.
Also further to the above question would you consider further investing in REIT's now or would you wait awhile to see where things are headed

Would be interesting to get some opinions

Thanks

(Not all offshore REITS were complete dogs, but the UK based ones were really bad .. due to £ weakness).

PS. The local REITS like RDF, GRT, and some others are still mainly ZA focused (±80% of portfolio).

Was that at a "New Age Breakfast"?
I started here with nothing and still have most of it left.

Nope, I had to hook him up to a security council meeting, then hang around to make sure nothing went wrong.
