Can't play with you guys. "This site can’t be reached" for weeks. No access to either competition.

At 1c and a PE ratio of 25 I'm afraid it is a looser. Much like my CIL that went into Business Rescue and is now suspended. I took a punt in it for R40k. Sniff sniff.

I have also looked at buying a narrowboat but missus not biting. Looks like a cool lifestyle according to the youtube videos I'v been watching.
I am keeping all my money in SA as I think we will see a good recovery on the developing markets. Good luck with your new investments. My portfolio has more than halved but then we have been living off it for about 8 years now so I can't complain.

Houses are so expensive here with the average 2 bed going for £212 000.00. Wales is much cheaper than England though. My daughter was lucky as the property she bought was on sale for £229k and the Carona virus dropped it to £200k.

Long time no post.

We are still here in Tetbury Gloucestershire but on the verge of relocating to Gloucester.

Much has happened since our arrival that I will post on later.
Portugal is now a distant memory and on hindsite we should have just holidayed there. Cost of living was great but the lack of human interaction due to language was a slow torture.
My pension savings has all but gone after this pandemic. Lost about 60% so far with exchange rates.

My daughter is buying a house in Gloucester and it has 5 bedrooms. They have no children so me and wife will live on the ground floor that has 1 bedroom, lounge  WC and utility room with kitchenette.

I will do garden and house maintenance and my wife will do cleaning and washing.
We will only pay for utilities, wifi and council tax that is about £220.00 pm.

Our son in law is a chef and he insists on doing all the cooking at home and he is a phenomenal cook.😁

Till later.

Orca, did you move to Spain or Portugal?
Lived in Portugal for 5 years but live in the UK now. Portuguese is a very difficult language  to learn.

A 5 year flat market is as good as a correction.

YRK is a penny stock and too few trades per day.

Well, that didn't pan out well.

STXIND took a whack thanks to The Orange Menace. As did most stocks.

CML just could not hold the price above the 20 SMA due to poor results as funds exited SA plus the poorer market performance over the past 6 months.

Seems like a flat market has become the new normal over the years and no reversal is even expected in the near future.

Holding securities with a properly registered and regulated financial house regardless if they are tangible or not will be treated by SARS as capital in nature if held for over 3 years. This could be non physical exposure to Kruger Rands, gold and platinum or physical coins held.

While the crypto coins are not traded via reputable exchanges they would never be regarded as Capital even if held for many years. The same applies to forex trading.

It would not be long before these coins are traded on the JSE and other world stock exchanges.

The saying of "hold for keeps" to be regarded as capital is nonsense as no one does this. Not even the minister of finance buys to hold for keeps.

Well done. Now tell me. Did it take in depth research on your part or did you take a pure gamble? If the latter then I am the winner.
