 South African pension funds have cut their holdings in local government bonds to the lowest level in nearly 4-1/2 years because of political turbulence in the country, but yield-hungry foreign investors are proving less hesitant

I took a calculated risk to keep my money in rands. I am not gloating about it but I did warn about going into USD many months ago.
I started here with nothing and still have most of it left.

Whew. Standard & Poor's (S&P) has kept South Africa's long term foreign currency rating at BB+ with a negative outlook.  The local currency rating remains at investment grade at BBB- with a negative outlook.

@Orca, I moved money out at R14.30, today it's R12.80. At that time I sold DIVTRX for R28.05, today it's R28.06, but I imagine the sell price is actually lower. Let's call it even to be easier.

I then bought VWRD then for $68.01, today it's $78.14. All in all I made a currency loss of 12%, but an investment gain of 15%, so to me at least, it looks like a good move!

How are things with you wife lately? I'm really hoping you have some hope on that end.

Do i laugh or cry "The National Union of Metalworkers of South Africa (NUMSA) said on Thursday it had tabled demands for wage hikes of 15 percent across the board in the metal and engineering sectors."
