Ouch, how's that for a lesson. I see he raised $5000 on gofundme, still, a lot left to pay back!

Someone want to explain how you can lose more when you're short than when you're long? I always thought you could gear your longs and therefore also lose more than you have invested.

No idea, personally I'm looking at moving a bunch of cash into VWRD:
TER of 0.25% and great country diversification:
South Africa is in there too, way down the list at 0.8%

« on: November 18, 2015, 02:21:15 pm »Patrick does that allow you to trade on that particular exchange, say the London Stock Exchange? Or are you buying some sort of eft of that exchange?It allows you to trade directly on the offshore exchange.
Jis that 20$ minimum is going to be a killer (for me). I was hoping to invest ~R10k (~700$) pm direct offshore, but that would mean my minimum cost is something like 2.5-3%!! HecticYeah, you need to trade big to make it work. $5000 is a 0.4% fee. For the US it's not a precentage, so even if you trade a $100 000 it's still only $20, which is 0.02%. Really cheap. I think the way to use it, is to move a chunk of funds at once, following a local sale or something like that. You have R1m a year to play with before needing SARS approval.
It looks like their cost structure is almost identical to the STD Bank WebTrader account.
Ai.
It's not a great solution for monthly offshore investing, unless you play in the big leagues. I won't be happy with the solution unless they drop the custodian fees to zero.
The other thing I'm waiting for is a competitor to the DBX trackers at a much lower TER. All the other ABSA funds are around 0.10% to 0.15%. If they could bring international trackers in at anywhere near that I would throw money at it, as would many other people I think.
Edit, the $20 minimum is based on the $0.03 per share, so if you buy 1000 $0.01 penny shares, you'll pay $10 for the shares, and $30 for the transaction! Rather buy expensive shares then!

I'm busy playing in the demo account section. Only thing I don't like, is that there are custodian fees of 0.1% p.a. otherwise it looks pretty good.
Here are the fees:

I love that chart! I think it's quoted somewhere up in this thread that not one fund manager has beaten the indi over a 5 year period!
