Quite sickening I bought 13,000 AdaptIt in 2007 for an all inclusive cost of R 9197 ( i.e. 71 cents per share) and sold out end 2009 at R 5758 ( 44 cents per share). Now they are running around at R 9.99 per today. I bought a small parcel some weeks back at R 9.51 all inclusive and am trying to buy more but at R 9.80 almost got my order filled today but will see how things go over the next few weeks

ADI has become my best performer. After nearly 2 weeks of struggling to break the 1000 psychological barrier, she made it today on strong volume.  :TU:

I would use the term "exemplary" rather. They keep beating their previous results year after year.
Seems that there is no end to this.

Good analysis there by Keith McLachlan.  Thanks for the heads up @Orca.

Today on Moneyweb. Perhaps I should sell my MTA and add to ADI.

I too hold MTA and quite frankly they seem to be going nowhere, but then I suppose they are doing better than my MSM (Massmart)

Then again, Public Investment Corporation (PIC) bought 15,5% of MTA shares in issue some weeks back. This is after their huge loss with ABIL. Surely they must be wanting to regain some losses?

The same guys that put R3bill into CAMAC??

Nothing wrong with MTA - don't own them personally.

A lot of people are saying ETF's should be the "core" of a portfolio - makes sense I guess, although would not work for me as I am chasing yield. I did have a thought this morning, what about instead of the ETF's, you replaced them with investment companies and conglomerates - so RMI, REMGRO, Bidvest, Brait, PSG ect.
