No don't. Zeder owns Pioneer. Pioneer exposed to agriculture, exposed to risk of the massive drought. Margins must shrink.

The size of the fine is nothing short of extortion. I mean it is more than their oil revenue.

Sanlam's invest in equities and properties, so it is actually a mirror of the market as whole to an extent, so if the market goes down so does it share.

I think this market is very expensive. Interest rate increases, which have to come in USA, will turn this market down. I also don't understand the Greece issue. Greece is very small to the rest of the Euro zone.

Be careful that you don't get caught up in mathematics when it comes to shares, don't think that because a share is dropping it has to, at some stage correct to its mean. Shares are based on earnings not stats. Look at Curro and Capitec and their future earnings and growth potential.

I look at shares in probabilities, what is the probability that the share will go down to what is the probability that it will go up, in this market , at least for the next six months, you have come to the conclusion that the chance that shares will go down from here is probable 70 % to it go up as 30 %. Nobody ever became poor by taking profits and reduce risk.

Property stocks are not good investments at the moment, retailers are suffering, their rental income will decrease due to the turnover clauses and interest rates rising.

Yes, maybe in a way, STD can always buy more shares on the open market and then increase the cfd exposure, but I assume chose not do so.

Because Standard Bank itself, does not own enough script to provided you with more contracts. The bank cannot lend money on cfd to you ,that its does not own the script to, it will then be unsecure lending. The risk to the bank too great.

I think 15 % is too much. You can always get back into the share, I say 3 times average trading range, which on PSG should be 6,5 to 7,5 %. Taking profits or locking in profits have never hurt anybody. Be careful of trailing stop losses, I use fixed stop losses, because it cancels out the intra day up movements, remember if a shares moves a lot up during the day but closes where it opened, if you have a trailing stop loss, it would have move a lot up, and you might get stopped out unnecessarily in the days ahead. Always have stop losses on everything !! Even if you don't think you have to. I have got the t-shirt.

I just received a technical analysis from OST, saying Sasol could go to 64900cps in the next six months . Am I missing something ? Oil surplus is massive in world. Oil price, as I understand it, will not go over 60 US $ for next 12 months. If oil stays below 60 us $ can Sasol really go back to 64900 cps ? Don't make sense to me.

This company's shares fell 98.3 % in the last five years. Last time I heard it was a dog. Go and gamble rather, you will still lose your money, but you might enjoy it .

I have a client in the industry, my question to him was, who do you sell to ? They sell to other game farmers, so you go auction sell R x million game and buy R x million game. Price are recorded, but what really happened ? What happens when all the game farms have the same game ? It will all end in tears, but while the party is on, you must party.

What happens to Steinhoff cfd'd, when the listing is done in Germany. We then become a secondary listing and there is no cfd on secondary listing ? Am I right ?

Take top 40. Take out the dogs like plat and gold shares, single commodities companies, take out duplicates ie pick one of MTN / VOD or MDC / LHC / APN, take out construction and take out "investment holding companies", you can invest directly. That should leave you with 16 odd shares. Add two to four other high risk shares and you have a great portfolio !

Period.

CFD is trading not investing. You will be taxed full on your profits, there is no capital gain. CFD is a position you take, you don't own the shares, the bank owns the shares and your position is settled in cash at the end of each day with the bank. You therefore realises your profits and losses daily. Converting to cash at year end means nothing as your convert to cash daily. Even the "dividends" you receive will be taxed, because you don't actually receive the dividend because you don't own the script, the bank does. Sorry bad news ...

When you buy or sell cfd's you trade with the cfd provider (in this case ost) the cfd provider must have enough script of a particular share to back up your transaction, buy or sell. That is why not all shares have cfd's. Their float might be to small or the provider is of opinion that to obtain script suddenly when you close a short, might be too difficult. Anyway, that is how I understand it. Can be wrong.
