Interesting article on Moneyweb "Coming to terms with the SATRIX DIVI" for those who are interested ad invested

Interesting sens notification. There interim period results are as per 31/12/2017 and its on the board by 11/1/2018 which is unusually early. The sens covers the usual statements that these results have not been reviewed or reported on by their auditors - but their interim results will be finalized and published on or about 8/2/2018.
I sincerely hope these directors have not just brought numbers to the market as a means of pacifying investors and that when they do publish the results they equate very closely to their sens "voluntary" trading statement. What the relevance of a voluntary trading is, is beyond me as in terms of the JSE listing rules they have to issue statements via sens on interim and final results and voluntary doesn't come into play at all.
To me they are keeping their heads just below the parapets in case there is some mud around

Thanks for the "dogs breakfast" explanation - too many years ago that I dabbled in SQL to check your coding - so accept that your intent is still honourable.
Your "system" is still malleable in the sense that I can see on my live prices that a certain share has increased in value over your 15 min delay prices and can then buy on your system and as such get the benefit of the "delay" between pricing - I am sure I could do the converse with price falls - but then I would in essence be trading rather than investing - which to my understanding is what the competition is all about
Maybe consider restricting frequent buyers/sellers to remove the trading aspect from the competition - just a thought 

I had a look at the leaderboard and have a question of Patrick - the best performer on the board when I looked was Ashburton Inflation ETF (ASHINF) however these units were purchased at 8:23:52 on 2018 - 01 - 02. The market doesn't open to the public until 9:00:00 and only the auction is open and that is exclusively to brokers and opens 10 minutes before public opening. So how was it possible that the holdings were acquired prior to even the auction period, and, further, what price was inserted against the purchase of these units - was it close of business 2017 - 12 -31, or was it based on some or other factor
Please clarify
Thanks

Quick questions to forumites - around TFSA's
# Is the investment period a calendar year or a tax year
# If you didn't invest in one year can you top up for that year and still invest for the new year
# If you didn't use your full allocation of R 30,000 in one year can you top up that particular year in a subsequent year

Obliged if people would comment/respond
Thanks

I certainly don't want to choke on my last penny when I die. I was co - executor for both my parents and the costs for funeral arrangements, and estate winding up can be quite expensive. So be kind to your kids leave at least R 100,000 (in today's money)to them to manage you and your spouses departure from this environment, they don't deserve to pay your dues. Also if the main asset owner (read you) has these assets transferred to another (your spouse) all transfers are subject to CGT and possibly estate duty (can be deferred to surviving spouse) and other legal costs
As the saying goes their is death and SARS to contend with in life

Well yesterday thanks to Cyril the squirrel - I passed my 2020 targets - but as the saying goes 1 swallow doesn't a summer make so looking for a continuation of the trend - but have set myself a further goal for 2020

Weise has unwound the Shoprite/Steinhoff deal - which could be interesting going forward
