Market dip probably means a good time to get into it.

Who wants to live in Europe and be taxed to death if you could live in the US where even your mortgage bonds are deductible.
Anyone who thinks you might ever need serious healthcare. Before Obamacare medical bills were responsible for 60% of bankruptcies in the USA. If you feel like some scary reading try this: https://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/460vj4/americans_what_is_your_american_health_care_cost/
Good grief  ???  We sho' got it good here in ol' SA.

Being in the UK currently, I keep telling them how the NHS is virtually the single most important institution they have, and they need to avoid going private at all costs.  They dont get it.

Good Day all and sundry, I would like to try this CFD thing is their anyone willing to mentor me in this regard?

Hallo to you too random citizen. :) I don't think anybody who knows how to do this would dare to mentor somebody else. The easy part is choosing your longs/shorts and timing.  The hard part is learning the tricks, yes I said tricks, of the market makers.

True that, NHS was really easy and effective when we lived there.

SNH -61.03%, SHFF -33.3% and guilty by association (Wiese) Brait -6%.  Guess BAT happy they sold $1BLN stake in Steinhoff late 2015.

The bull has emigrated :) Hey Graham what is the history, 2005 is before my time. Isn't easy equities part of GT247?
I tried to dredge up what some of the noise was around GT 247 but can't find it. I used to read comments on a site which I recall being called page 181 or something to this effect - all posters were traders from across the world (but all at one stage had SA roots) some traded on behalf of HSBC in Hong Kong, Meeg Bank in London and Chase Manhattan out of New York. The only name I recognize at GT247 is Mark Barnes who now functions as CEO of the Post Office but was part of the start up team that established GT247. From memory there were some issues around timing of deals and that they were not always executed timeously. Will read through Google a bit more to see whether I can get more detail and then provide more info

In real life I seriously hope not, but look at the bottom of the leaderboard, all victims of Steinhoff. I'm 7th from last. Bought in when the share price first dropped and the rumours were supposed to be drivel. Guess it wasn't! Anyway, nothing to lose so I'm going all in!

Wow, posted by Keith McLachlan on twitter "Interesting historical fact: EOH comes from PG Bison's IT department ("spun out"). PG Bison is part of KAP, which is owned by Steinhoff."
