Jeez, STXWDM has taken a beating the past month. Good time to buy I guess?
It hasn't actually, what happened was the rand got stronger which means it's now cheaper to buy. In dollar terms it actually got slightly stronger over the same period thanks to Trumps tax cuts.

Trying to tell if it's a good time to buy or not depends on how well you can tell the future to see how the Rand will move. The best I can say is that it's a much better time than it was a week ago!

Appreciate the insights.

Thanks for the replies so far.

I'm only invested in ETF's at this stage (STXIND, DIVTRX and 3 of the DBX indexes) but not planning on getting rid of anything. My reasoning is I'm in for the long haul. Am I being naive in your opinion(s)?
