Best trade in last couple of years,buying GND at R12 last year.Of course although its doubled in price my portfolio does not quite reflect that as i have more than doubled my holding at lows.Was hoping it would decline again ex- div.It was not to be.Pity

I also got back into GND recently, maybe even a bit late, but over long term i think it will work well.

Werner - my best trades have been with two or three companies that I have added to over time. This means that the % gain is not as good as some of my other shares, the overall rand value gain is much better. Example I bought a smallish chunk of OML at around 7 in early 2009, so my % gain is great, whereas I have been buying SPP and DST since 2002, or thereabouts, and by adding to my positions my % gain is lower, but amount much much larger.
Having said that, my best holdings are probably DST or CVH and SPP.
