Hi ishpat, your best bet is to read what those ETFs invest in and make your own decisions. As someone who isn't a financial adviser I'm not allowed to advise. In my own TFSA I buy STXWDM for offshore.

Excellent article written by Stephen Grootes sometime during the afternoon of Monday 30th July 2018.

Perhaps his fourth dynamic, racial inequality and the most powerfully dangerous dynamic of them all, will eventually be our undoing. And sooner rather than later. The Government is actually inadvertently fuelling this through their land-without-compensation roadshows. I watched a bit of some of them and most of the people are very, very angry. And I believe there are dark forces who are watching this and waiting and planning to initiate a civil war. They've probably been planning for a long time already.

I use my credit card quite a bit when traveling overseas. Standard bank have implemented a 2.75% transaction fee. (last year was free).

I think Investec charge 2.5% Anyone know of local banks that don't charge this??

Capitec, no fee and no spread. It's hard to believe but I've checked it in many countries!

How I long for Cyril the squirrel to grow some 00's - fairly obvious that the NEC is opposed to his leadership

Am I going senile? If a company issues a Trading Statement it means that the HEPS has grown by more than 20% and I thought this was good. Apparently not so. ADI issued a great TS and it fell by 4,5% in seconds. Today it continued its fall by 2,7%. WTF is going on? Have I got things wrong in my head?
I started here with nothing and still have most of it left.

And yet again a further drop of 2.8%. The single largest shareholder is S Shabalala who holds 9.4% and he is the CEO - must be wondering what he and the company have to do to move the share price positive. Its high over the last 12 months was 1050 so where it is languishing now is way off its high tide mark - however the last few days have represented a buying opportunity
