I foresee prices in RSA increasing to the detriment of the consumer, Davis is definitely not in touch with what is going on in the country. He needs to ask himself how come the SA Poultry industry don't export any chicken products into the world market. It all revolves around the brine content of SA chickens - whereas we add up to 35% by mass of brine the imports are all less than 15% with many of the European countries outlawing brine additives

Just got back from SARS. My tax loss from the 2008/9 crash amounts to -R284k but they say it has prescribed so the loss will not carry over.
Any tax loss or money due older than 3 years is prescribed but money owed by you never prescribes.
This will now cost me plenty. The auditors will get back to me within 3 weeks.

Got sorted with the Request for Correction. I had already clicked on it so it stayed open although I could not see it.

Orca - since you were unaware of the fact that they were treating you as a trader I believe they should waive the prescription period - I would approach their appeals board to get them to apply leniency. The reality is they can't hide behind the Act when it suites them and then chose to ignore under different circumstances

Can't get my head around this gold adornment thing but was suitably impressed when looking at the depictions of karma sutra and couldn't help but notice all the gold jewelry adornments - so it seems that you can't have the one without the other. Does somehow make a mockery of the adage all that glitters is not gold :laugh:

Well I see Moody's downgraded Sanral which puts pressure on all SUI's so the country rating could be seriously affected. This is when the government and the citizens realize that Pravin is not a magician but just an ordinary alchemist

If you are with a broker they may have a fact sheet which you can access which lists nature of business directors, trade names shares in issue highest and lowest price (normally 12 months) and dividends declared to date - check with your broker how you can access this fact sheet for the info you are looking for

Postings relative to CML seem to have a euphoria about it - but sometimes it seems more like a pi$$ing competition. Can't imagine what the posts would be like if someone got in early on say Capitec or Woolies or Shoprite. Come on people CML is not extraordinary - just a share that has done well

Now we are braai - ing - chicken on the menu

MFL - is I believe a well run company (had many dealings with them when I still had a day job) and they seem to be able to reinvent themselves and stay abreast of current document handling matters. I have frequently considered investing in them but have baulked at the last moment - maybe because it's not a company that will shoot the lights out, but is more a slow but consistent growth company. My biggest concern is that with so many ways in which to store documents and it being legally acceptable to reproduce from source one wonders whether there is a need to keep documents at a remote site with another vendor. From a banking perspective it was a pain to hold certain documents for 25 years in an archives environment, but with the advent of microfilming and then scanning it became easier to store fiche or a disc away from your IT operation. So in the longer term I am not sure whether keeping documentational images with MFL is as cost effective as it was say 5 to 10 years ago. I am sure that the company will disagree with me, and would probably be able to prove that it can be cost effective, but in my little world that is the main reason why I have not bought into the company
Purely my opinion
