Well today was an exceptional day for me on the local market - I have 20 counters in my private portfolio and today barring one (Alert Steel) all showed positive price increases to the extent that my portfolio screen was totally green. I have only seen this on 3 occasions since 2007/08 which is quite remarkable. Some only showed a .1% increase but nevertheless the fact that my whole portfolio was green is what is unique as my portfolio normally shows gains and loses. Very intersting

It looks like it's updating. Obviously 15 or so minutes behind though.

Thanks for adding FFB Patrick, I like the gearing concept of it.

Hello, what gearing concept? Like practically all Reits, they hedge their currency and interest rates with derivatives. Is that what you mean?
FFB for a long term hold is virtually impossible to beat, as you will have gathered by looking at past performance and the latest divvie:-
"dividend increased by 25,12% from 62,81 cents to 78,59 cents per share compared to the previous period."

In My mind I see this as gearing the B shares
Quote
The Fortress A shares have a preferential right to income distribution and to capital participation in
the event of winding-up. The Fortress B shares are entitled to the residual distributable income and
capital participation on winding-up. The growth on the A share dividend is the lower of 5% or CPI.
From their interim report, my interpretation is  A shares get 5% growth in distribution and B shares the rest of the growth.
Has anyone got another interpretation?

Nope - BID, Rolfes, and Taste spoilt the party, but they do present buying opportunities if they drop a bit more (5-10%) in each case - trigger just waiting to be pulled >:D

With pretty much everything going wrong for the ANC yesterday, the rand is much happier.
