Finance minister fired

Here we go.....what a "st.....up". The ANC is running out of money, fire the finance minister to earn cash through a middle man on the SAA/Boeing deal and fill the coffers. The new man van Rooyen will definitely shoot the lights out with his "hunting" skills and diplomas.

Where are the optimists now? The warning signs have been there for a long time. Anybody who still thinks this country will survive under this ANC is deluded.

Watch how the stop losses kick in resulting in a flurry of sell offs only too find a recovery by the end of the day. I speak from experience! Note to self: this market is not for sissies

The Zuma wrecking ball in full swing again. S.A has been going down the drain ever since he hi-jacked the ANC - leaving the country was one of my best moves.

If you don't mind me asking where did you move to and how difficult was the process?

I was born in and lived in S.A. until I left in 2012. Fortunately I hold a British passport and have moved to the UK. The difference between a first and a third world country are stark - every thing works well here and continues to do so. Sure there are issues but on balance (weather aside ) it's a good place to live.

this is not a matter of stops kicking in. This is a sustained selloff - and will get worse when the US markets open, IMO. With global markets poised for downturns - Japan in recession - I think we are in for a big down move. Zuma's move has all but wiped out investor confidence here - and institutions are offloading fast and furiously. Watch the rand, it tells you everything you need to know about capital flight. SA Inc has just stepped over the cliff and heading into oblivion. Eish!
