Ouch.

Think it's time to take a week off from looking at shares - looks like we going through a small correction - have no intention of selling, but watching my net worth being eroded is no fun ether  :(

See you next week

 :D

Sorry, did I say 2 weeks.

What I mean't to say is "I have guests over so won't be checking on my stocks for 1 and 1/2 hours..."

Err, did I mention my lack of will power.

 :D

Reuters today predicted -15% to plus 11% by year end.
I started here with nothing and still have most of it left.

How about looking at these companies that have failed fallen in to business rescue and how culpable are the directors (those on the board at time of going into rescue and the previous board members who have ducked the ship) is there no recourse against these directors to get hold of their assets if they have taken out huge salaries and or sold of shares to escape getting caught with falling share prices. Some companies are in dire straits, were privatised and now want to come back to the JSE, - Edgars, Sportsman's Warehouse, Alert Steel, Coal of Africa, Gijima,  are just some of the companies who come to mind, but there are hoards more. Really looking at it from the perspective of where the companies have remained silent on conditions within the company, been cagey, directors selling off shares and then announcing the need for business rescue or have been privatised, and where did these director end up in a business sense - got another cushy job, or retired on their pickings

@gcr, yes that is rather sickening. There's probably so much data to go through I'd need more than a month. Though I also suspect you'd be the better writer on that topic. I'd happily publish it if you did!

What happened to stocks in Zimbabwe?

Over the last 20 years including the hyperinflation years - did they hold value against the rand/dollar? If ZA heads south, how safe is our investments? Will dual listed shares be the way to go.

Just had a look at the zim ex website - it's actually quite nice. But trying to figure out on the price quoted for OK http://www.zimbabwe-stock-exchange.com/listed-company/OKZ/ is it 11 US c per share or 11$ per share? They mention a divided of 0.19 cents per share which makes me think it is 11USc - but they then deal in fractions of a cent when dealing - weird. Used to odd numbers when it comes to dividends though.

I like that idea Mr D. I'll look into it for one of my blog posts.
