At R8.20 I'd probably cry about missed opportunities! I would have a huge $ salary though, but I'd have to work quite a few more years to make back what I missed out on by converting at 14.30. Where did you get that number? I always read that it should be somewhere between 11 and 12.

I read that in some financial site about 2 months ago. Think it was Moneyweb. Highly unlikely to get there though.
I started here with nothing and still have most of it left.

What could also be supporting the R is ANB buying up R to pay SABMiller shareholders (the cash option).

I have ANB & NPN, thus my one share is hurting my other share, I is hoping some politician says something/gets arrested/gets investigated to weaken the rant.

@Orca ABN have already forward covered their R purchases, so not  a reason for R strength past few days.

According to Moneyweb yesterday, the buying will carry on for "a few weeks".
I started here with nothing and still have most of it left.

Bloomberg yesterday: "The bottom line: actual or speculated SABMiller-related flows will provide significant help to the rand for weeks to come.”

jaDEB. No rate hike by FED so good for USA stocks and we follow suit.
TOPI exceptionally oversold. Indicators show a reversal especially for commodities. Double bottom and 200MA confirms a short bull run.

The way the All Share is performing today and the resilience of the Rand I don't see any repo rate adjustment today

A new forex idea?? http://view.ceros.com/moneyweb/the-investor-september-2016/p/11
Thanks for the tip. I contacted them to see what their charges are. They wouldn't commit to a fixed spread, but said it's generally spot rate + 0.5%. They also have a R350 fee per transaction. That would make them cheaper than exchange4free (spot+1%) for large amounts, smaller amount will be quite similar I think, as exchange4free has a lower R120 fee for transaction under R100k.

Not sure about Std Bank spread, but Min fee is R140 or 0.51% and capped at R790 (excl the fees on the other side). Daylight robbers I say and they aren't interested in giving better rates above 100k. Patrick, have you used exchange4free? I think ill give ClickFX a try in my next offshore tranch.
