So last night I went to an ABSA stockbrokers event and had a chat to the head of absa stockbrokers afterwards. Anyone want to guess which broker he uses for his offshore investing?

Standard Bank Webtrader?

Trick question Patrick? he does not believe in stocks and prefers to carry, gold, silver, rare black sable semen and various collectible stamps sticky taped to various parts of his anatomy? What did I win???

Saxo?

Not standard bank, a couple more tries?

Just threw the most unlikely idea out there. As a bank employee he is more than likely forbidden from using any platform other than their own. The fact that you posted the question probably means this is not the case...so, answer please :p

Reading the complaints against them I would question whether I wanted to use them as a broker partner, seems like they can milk accounts quite effectively without explanation or at very least even warrant an explanation

Chris Hart:-

“I fear that Brexit will be used as a cover for our own problems,” he said.
“South Africa is not growing, its heading into recession – if not already in one
- and it’s all self-inflicted.

For sure.

Long MTA tomorrow.

FTSE levels above pre-BREXIT levels...my portfolio not so much
