all the doom and gloom out there - eish. Do we really think local shenanigans plays any real part in the global order of things? We are an emerging market - bundled into all the other emerging markets out there. Our currency is an emerging market currency, subject to the same forces as all other emerging market currencies. Now you have global ETF's - moving more money than a country like SA can ever dream of, on a daily basis - allocating weightings to various index tracking funds, or to some broker that can build an index tracking portfolio. Do you honestly think that the man or woman pushing the allocation button on iShares emerging market or world market ETF's gives a dead owl's hoot about Jacob Zuma and his thieving policies? We are all just little little Nemo's in a big infested shark tank. Ride the waves boys and girls, and stop worrying about things you can't control anyways.
