Orca just a question about Portugal and the 500K property investment for the golden visa.
Must one do the entire 500k in one shot, or can you build up to that, lets say in 80k increments?
Not that i'm there yet but I was thinking, if you could buy a +/- 80k flat, which you rent out.
Then follow that up with another in the same price range and used the first ones rent to help pay towards the next etc etc.
would you then eventually also qualify for the Golden Visa?

So Moneyweb agree with me. Don't buy a unit trust, buy the company providing them. Over time they make more money out of your unit trust than you do!
Thought about that. But here is my worry. They make all their money from their fees. Especially from questionable fees like performance fees. This cannot last. Every day people are getting wiser to the rip off that is the fee systems of these companies. This can only lead to two things. One, people continue investing more money in ETFs and less in actively managed funds or, two, these companies will drastically have to decrease the fees they charge. Either way their bottom lines are going to be hit and they are going to be hit hard. So would you still go long on them?
This is why there will be a long slow decline, the amount of people taking control of there own money, in relation to those that are happy to hand it of to someone else in the "hope" that they will
be better at it than themselves, will for a very long time lean towards the latter. For no other reason than laziness and/or a "cannot be bothered" lifestyle.

Yes i am. Started of with just funds years ago, move to Equities over the last year.
I have moved a lot of my capital out of the funds and into Equities, as much as I can, for now.
And yes I know its not the most successful of investments, but I have beaten inflation, without taken into account dividends. And taken into
account that I have only been doing this for a year, I am pleased, but not over the moon with my effort.

Something I have been thinking about and cant find proper info about.
I have my TFSA with EasyEquities, split over 4 ETF's. If I would like to sell all of the shares from one ETF, and reinvest them into another or a completely different ETF, will the selling be
seen as me exiting money from my TFSA? Can one do this?
If this is allowed, andd not seen as exiting money from the TFSA, what stops anybody from trading on these ETF's If you are wanting to do so?
