To get tax relief, one has to hold the shares for at least 3 years. No matter how good the stock might look now and it's future prospects for further growth, a time will come when it stops performing or tanks. This mostly happens before the 3 years are up and you are forced to make adjustments. You will be extremely lucky if all your stocks keep going up for 3 years. Almost half of your gains will go to tax. That is a waste of your time and money.
For that very reason I would just go for the Indi and chuck it in the bottom drawer.

No need to ask your tax consultant. It is very simple. As you will be investing for less than the 3 year term required for CGT, you will have to add all your gains to your income after selling.
So if you are in the 40% tax bracket, you will pay 40% on your gains. Sux hey?
I agree with jaDEB. We are riding the peak of a wave that has to tumble +- 6 to 8% soon.

Actually the performance of the market lately has impressed me. No doubt a correction is due then look again. The minus figures will shoot up.

That's what got me into trouble. I was under the impression that I could buy and sell as I wished and as long as the gains are not withdrawn into my bank account for my personal use, it would not be considered a tax event.
If you hold your shares for a minimum of 3 years in either of your 2 accounts, you will only pay CGT.
You have done the correct thing by separating your investment account from your trading account as now you will only pay income tax as revenue on your trading account. All your gains or losses made after each trade will be a tax event whether you withdraw it or not.

Yeh. I know how you feel. Sickening to invest in healthy stuff. You must reprimand them. Shout at them. They will then go up. Reminds me to reprimand mine now.
PNC.
Are you in DOS mode again. Sleeping I think. You are embarrassing me in front of 300+ people here. What's wrong with you? Look at your pal CML that now has to carry you in my portfolio. Get off your butt and get going. Your bosses bought you more toys as in acquisitions and you not interested !!!
MTA. Are your batteries flat? Your boss just bought you a R2.2B battery buddy and you got revved up for 2 days then lost interest. I already said here that you are the next CML and now you embarrass me like this. Put some spark in there and get your wheels rolling mate.
CML.
Thank you for doing so well. Talk some sense into your room mates and get them going. Then you must rest as you must be tired now. I don't mind if you have a rest my friend.

In short. Look for stocks that have a good past performance like the one that jaDEB posted above. Then read through the SENS to find out what's been happening. Read their website. If you're satisfied that the fundamentals and prospects are good for the continuance of that trend then buy it.
Don't look for stocks that are trending too high as you will land up with an ELI. CML is a case in point.
This has done me well since 2009.
For added safety, make sure the PE ratio is good for long term.

« on: October 24, 2013, 06:57:47 pm »There are many shares with good L/T growth.If you wanna buy a lot of Blow up dolls and Dildos and stuff then you must invest in stocks that are not volatile. Look at jaDEB's example above. That is my favorite old Omnia. A good steady, unvolatile stock that is reliable 60% per annumer.
But I am the impatient type
I have a % of my portfolio in L/T stuff, But I have to play the market as I buy alot of toys and need above average growth to pay for them.
The market is very volatile since 2009 and investors/trader very jittery. So the overeact to news sometimes.
As happened with TGK today
There are many more to choose from to suite your fetishes. Just ask.
I also used to buy those toys when I was your age you know.

Thanks for the prompt replies. They should be here in 30 minutes.
Thanks for the pointers gcr. Taken note but MP's post is what my wife told me as well. Women's intuition prevails as always. So I'll go with that.

I have always used the Momentum and Trend system with good success to date. This MUST be coupled to fundamentals as well. Future prospects for further growth is very important.
Not putting a feather in my cap but was it not me that exposed CML as the stock of the future in 2009 on the other forum? I had a "blog" on it since 2009. It was a relatively unknown stock then. Look at it now.
Your system of looking for stocks that are oversold does not always work. Look for stocks that JUST KEEP GOING UP AND UP. They are the winners. There is a reason why they keep going up and up.
OMN is a good example. Look at the chart and read up on it. A steady growth of +- 60% pa.
MTA is another. (The next CML)
Stay away from those TOPI stuff and cyclical stocks. Look at the 3 year charts for a continuous uptrend then do research.
Bet i will get flack here.
