I should have Googled a bit more before asking...haha :whistle:

I'd have lost my job many times over in the past without access to google!

On the topic of foreign investments, I'm currently looking into opening an account with http://www.keytradebank.lu/

Yes, on the bright side, it looks like the dental practice is getting nailed in the states. Hopefully the hunters will be too scared of the backlash in future.

Midpoint of the current spread is 2746, so it likely had a higher value than indicated last night, it just never traded there.

So, I quite like this debate as my brother in law is an analyst for a fund management firm. I've written about why I think they're a waste of cash before (http://investorchallenge.co.za/those-fees-are-blatantly-robbing-you/), but now the head of sygnia has jumped in with a great article, also in favour of passive investing: http://www.moneyweb.co.za/investing/unit-trusts/arguments-against-passive-investing/

Is there anyone here who still considers units trusts a decent investment?

Maybe a different question, but how many people here think they can beat the index over a decent period of time?

It can be done if it trades more than 16 times a day. I don't have figures on that, anyone know if it does?

Have to agree, the people here are great. I wouldn't even be in the stock market if it wasn't for Orca, and the stuff I continuosly learn from the rest of the crowd is fantastic. Strangely the exact things Orca said that motivated me to get my ass into gear and invest decently got him banned from the other forum. Can't figure it out???

I see they've got one less player. I wonder if someone was disqualified?

Very nice. I just hope that pic is of the ring is on your finger and not some other extremity.


 :D

With the size of it I certainly hope so too!

I decided to make a couple more rings last night. Firstly I was dying to use the lighter wood I bought, but couldn't roll, so this time I made the inner in the dark wood, and wrapped lighter wood around:


Then my SO asked for something thinner, so this time I tried a different technique by stacking the wood in layers. I used dark wood on the outside, and three light stips on the inside, but alternated the grain so it looks like there are 3 different types of wood instead of 2:

Yeah I wish there was a cheaper option too. DBX is far too expensive for my taste.

If it's all foreign shares it won't matter if the rand crashes as your portfolio value will have a rise equal to the currency crash. In a total hyperinflation scenario, your only risk would be the time difference between selling and being able to convert to a safer currency somehow.
