Hi, forumites. Something from my chest - please try to follow the implied convention that, should you reply directly to a posting, choose that entry line and your reply will appear as an indented responce; if you would air a new opinion under a topic go ahead by just making an entry under the main topic. This would enhance readability. Look at the following extract from a recent posting: Re:Shares for the Future by ABuzz on 05 Jun 07:44 Hi Blik - It would depend on what you are trying to achieve by holding them for 15-20 years. Personally, I wouldn't keep any share for that long as I believe you would do better trading shares with your R 50 000 over that period rather than holding onto one stock only. Are you after dividend returns? Or are you wanting Capital Growth?
