Today the STXIND was up by 1.6% while the DIVTRX was down by 4.7%.
Some may think why this happened as the two have been following each other trend wise with the DIVTRX doing somewhat better over the past year and a half and now the sudden downfall of the DIVTRX.

The 2 ETF's hold different stocks in their portfolios. The STXIND is only in industrial stocks while the DIVTRX is not. The INDI is overweight in SAB and NPN while the DIVTRX is overweight in Banks and Financial Services, the hardest hit sector today.

The industrial sector will never go out of favour as it is the heart of any country's growth. Charts have confirmed this.

I am now doubting if I made the right decision to put half my money into DIVTRX and nothing into STXIND.

Tech sector hit big time today. My poor ADI. Thanks Zuma.

I have nothing to say but its getting cold here now. Siberian snow geese migrated a month early signalling an early cold winter. The longest in 50 years.

This does not sound correct and will need further research. As far as I know, the fund manager of a collective scheme buys and sells shares all the time but you will be exempt from any tax.
Should you sell your UT or ETF within 3 years, you would be taxed as Income.

I think the author is confusing the above.

Note: If you have a Capital Loss, you must ADD the R30K to the loss. ie. Capital Loss = (100 000.00) ADD 30 000.00 = (70 000.00) This cannot be offset against normal income but only future capital gains.

@Patrick. It will be a good idea to sell half before end Feb and another half soon after as you will then have a R60k total exclusion.

I have also decided not to respond as I have stated this for some years now. Great blog P. Amusing too.   

And what is the reason, always thought we were mostly resource driven - what's pushing it up?

SA was resource driven but not anymore.

Great looking chart. This is the reason why I keep my investments in SA while many of you guys want out.
Emerging markets are the place to be. In fact 40% of the JSE stocks are owned by foreigners. 

HEPS down 9,7% compared to previous reporting period and ex divi today. This is not too bad considering the market turmoil. I expected worse and the price to drop to the mid 50's so my personal feeling is that it is oversold at this point.

She was carried up over the years by momentum investors going in for the ride but they have abandoned ship so don't expect her to shoot the lights out soon. I sold at around 8700.

Four years ago, I had a long on gold with no SL. I got stopped out by a margin call and lost my entire $10k. Strange why he did not get stopped by a margin call.
