I wonder how load shedding will affect share movements...? Will miners be affected due to the possibility of production loss? But I'm guessing most companies have generators now, after 2008.

Mines and other big companies are not swiched off. They have to cut back 10% usage.
I started here with nothing and still have most of it left.

No I think Eishkom only release it when they want an increase in their prices

If it scares you, it's a sign you need to do it

Do you think commodity prices will be affected still, even though the mines are not switched off (international perception)?

why after selling does the ave. include previous shares sold?

Cause if I buy again, the ave price includes the price of the sold shares when calcing ave?

this is skewing my tactic of selling up and buying down, as the percentage gain is not accurate

@Hstig, could you give me something to base the calculations on? Shouldn't the ave buy price not be affected by sales? Anyone else know? Even so, the%gain or loss doesn't affect your standing, only your current holdings, cash on hand and tax owed do.

I have just bought 1 Telkom share. According to how understand, the cost should now be R33.00 per share, as I have sold all my previous holdings, effectively rebasing my gains/losses, but on my holdings, It now shows the average price of R30.78 and 7.21% growth. This should show 0% growth and average price of R33.00, as after having sold all my holdings in Telkom, I am coming in at a new base

good point, now how to put that into a calculation? What if you'd only sold half... head scratch...

Selling a portion brings a weighted cost into play instead of average cost i.e
10 Telkom shares @ R30.78
Sell 3 at X price leaving 7
Purchase 3 new @ R33
then gives 3/10X R33 +7/10x R30.78 = R9.9+R21.54 = R31.44
How to keep track of which shares at which value is what I am unsure of

Maybe I should still use the sell numbers, but not the sell values when calculating averages... I'll run some trials...
