@chang9015 Don't sell. The waterfront still exists. The banks still run. Sanral is still not collecting tolls. I would venture 90% of SA citizends don't even know what happened (stock wise). They will still rent, buy, spend and eat the same they did yesterday and the day before.  Just a year or two and the divvies will start roling in again

@Fanus I suppose your right, but macro economics work differently, unless your holdings made you +25% this year, you're actually going backwards in dollar terms, our bond yields increased by 25% since Nene got removed. you're right in saying people will still rent, buy and spend, but it'll cost everyone that much more, expect SARB to increase interest rates by 50-100bps come january if this debacle isn't controlled.

Yeah, I know our costs are spiralling upwards... but cheer up. Gold is accepted in most countries :) Just don't head for Europe. They seem a bit full these days

I wonder if any of JZ's family or friends have made an absolute fortune shorting shares in the last week... The Gupta's are smart enough to, and were most likely consulted before hand...

I knew something had to happen this week end and it did. Zuma had no other option.
I started here with nothing and still have most of it left.

Zuma blinked. That is a good sign. He has finally realised he is not untouchable.

Well the Rand went up by 6% after the announcement so that is a good sign.

Did anyone have the balls to go long on banking stocks last week?
