Thanks Shi - I'm aware of that but I do hold some in my portfolio and I want to buy some more - the share should rise above R 1 as they get to grips with the fiasco - which could happen before year end and I want to speculate on the ride to above R1

What's your forecast gcr? Worth a punt?

Orca, Happy NY to you and hope all is well what's happening in the UK are you still there and surviving?

I've seen a lot of money transfer companies offering free transfers ie Exchange4Free, Travelwise, etc, etc so where do they get their commissions from? Do they get it when you remove funds from their accounts?

Is there any updates on this topic? I'm looking to transfer a fair amount and looking for the best options?

Hi guys, the internet is such a valuable source of info in almost everything we do in life and it got me thinking that as we find so much financial advice online from fairly well known sites surely there must be some gem websites that are hardly ever heard of and that a lot of you use almost on a daily basis for share and financial investing so would it be possible to name these sites so that we can all benefit with what they offer?

I'm thinking of sites like Just One Lap, Stealthy Wealth, etc just to name a few but there must be plenty!

Not so long ago we were reaping the rewards of stocks like the INDI, CML, etc with 20-30% annual gains being the norm but what's happened to the market and will it turn around any time soon?

Is anyone still making this type of growth or is it just a pipedream?

Posted this two years ago with some interesting replies but has anything changed? Zuma's gone but we've still got the Eskom debacle, land expropriation has reared it's head again and the Rand up and down as usual!

Still looking for that 15-20% annual growth but it's like trying to find the proverbial needle in a haystack!

Hi there and thanks for all the info .  I've been reading your earlier blog stuff but have not reviewed much lately . Suffice to say I see you're bidding Portugal goodbye for Tax & language reasons ... Sad, sorry to hear this .....   Ever thought about moving to Algarve where English is spoken>?

Sorry , .... getting off the reason for my correspondence.  We are currently resident in Spain ( one year now)but due to TAX and one or two other complications ( Drivers licence) we wish to move to Portugal and apply for the Non Habitual Tax  Resident so that we get the 10 year Tax window??>>> . We have not emigrated and hence have part of our investment in SA on JSE and in property.

I'm hoping you can offer some insight regarding the complications of applying for such etc. My wife is a UK passport holder but I am South African ( Green Mamba Passport) .. it bites.

Looking forward to chatting further , so until later, .  have a great day out there.

Hi Rond,

Read your post above re your intended move to Portugal and I'm currently looking at a move to Spain in the next year or so as I know the country very well from my many holiday trips there when I lived in the UK. I am a UK passport holder and currently resident in SA.

Where in Spain do you live? I'm looking at options with a good all year round climate with mild winters not bothered with the summer heat as I will probably go to the UK during July/Aug when it's very hot. It looks like the eastern areas of Spain are best climate wise from Almeria up to Alicante so any recommendations would be appreciated.

Have you had problems with tax in Spain and is it unsolvable? I'm retired here in SA and same as you I still own property here which I'm trying to sell at the moment but with the market being down at present it's taking longer than expected. 

Like wise, any guidance or helpful tips on moving to Spain would be brilliant as although it seems easy to do sometimes others who've been there before know all the shortcuts and ways to avoid potential pitfalls.

It is quite normal for profit taking to happen after a short bull run.

Orca, are you still invested in CML?

Is it a buy at the present price and what's the outlook?
