Felt quicker than two weeks. Time flies.

Certainly curious about the dropping of Clicks as I'm showing 172.9% share price growth since purchasing in 2011

That new WITS algorithm working overtime

KAP, RLF, AXL all served me pretty good. But yes since Zuma and Gupta everything went to shiat. pretty much everything till November 2016.

DbxJP fcked.
dbxwd fcked.
STXIND fcked.

Stick with your STXIND and DBXWD both are long term investments - the old adage time in the market, not timing the market needs to be heeded - on my INDI I am still up 45% - and simply if this economy is to improve then the INDI will be the first to improve. The DBXWD is your backstop - if Zuma and his corrupt cadres bullet Gordhan then the Rand will see its ar%$ and you will be thankful for being in this DBX - I too am taking some pain on DBXWD but only .6% at present so can sit out the volatility

So play the long game

You really reckon Indi is the place to be over NFEMOM or CTOP50? Feels like we shifted back to resources being the best place to be (I use that term very very loosely)

gcr is retired, no? So I'm assuming he's got "safer" holdings than the rest of us.

Any new thoughts on investing the INDI ?

I have 10 days left to max out my TFSA and was thinking of putting the $$ in the INDI..

My thoughts are still what they were: Drop INDI in favour of NFEMOM or DIVTRX

i WaNT sub R14.00     

I am confused

Ja nee... 

Hamster - can't you use your STXIND as a tax break or are you going to lose more than you are prepared to lose. Most segment counters are cyclic and maybe you need to look at the share prices of a couple of counters and track the cycles which could assist as to when you enter those counters.
Also there is so much noise out in the market - FNB will say that house prices have stagnated and even gone backwards. There was an article recently where it said to build a house costs more (square metre basis) than to buy a house of similar size - strangely that's been the situation for all of 30 years anyway - if you even out the peaks and troughs. I myself have just received notification that my homeowners policy (replacement of my current premises id razed to the ground) is increasing by 11%. Strangely enough this insurance cover has doubled since 2013 so I think everybody is putting in false information into the market.

I hold STXIND but then I have held them for a good number of years so am showing + 40% share price improvement - so maybe you should reconsider selling out - but that's just my opinion.
The market also works in cycles in 2007/2008 my portfolio took a hit of some R800,000 but within 18 months the value was some R 200,000 above its highest point at the time of the crash. Investing in the stock exchange is a long term investment so stick it out

My average buying price for STXIND is more or less 7000 in my TFSA so I'm reluctant to just get rid of it and "cut my losses" It recovered quite well for a couple of weeks and now struggling to stay in the 6800 range which is frustrating. What's more frustrating is that SONA, the Budget Speech and potentially replacing Gordhan with Dlamini-Zuma are all happening in the next month... who knows what the effect will be (hopefully STXIND shoots up and other ETFs shoot down so I can reallocate at a good price :p )

Also, I don't think it belongs in a TFSA but that's just my opinion.

Two new Satrix ETFs incoming: STXPRO and STXILB
