I don't know, but I bought some a few days ago at 91c. Sometimes you think a share just can't fall any lower, and then it does!

I haven't been here for a couple of weeks. I suppose Std Bank never saw those Capitec ads: "Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication"!

Looks like a no-brainer to me, but there are still some sellers around. There was also a nice double bottom just below R16.

is moving up on good volume. Also nice buy divergence on daily and weekly chart. I think it is about to break out.

Partridge1, you really must stop talking to yourself, especially if the two of you can't agree!

Can anyone explain this heavy selling? I see support at 65.50 but at this rate I don't know if it will hold.

is pretty much back to its long term support line which goes back to August 2011. Surely it will start turning up now?

I have bought some for reasons I gave below. I am not a fundamental investor but the impression I got from their trading update is that they will get their act together in Abu Dhabi sooner or later. I think the bad news is priced in.

Down 0,51% according to this site. Anyway, check out https://justonelap.com/etf-csew40/ Thus, npn today is down 1.54% so will bring the top40 down quite heavily due to its heavy weighting in the top 40 according to market cap. However, it only represents 2,5% of this etf so does not have a big impact.

I can't reply to your previous entry. When I try to I get diverted to my online banking site! I found this on the internet (note:the amount has now incresed to R33000-00 per year as per yesterday's budget): "How much can I invest? Contributions to all Tax Free Savings and Investments (TFSIs) will be limited to R30 000 during any tax year and R500 000 over the life of an individual. Investments can also be made in the name of minors. It is accepted however that the balance in these accounts may exceed the R500 000 limit due to accumulated earnings and capital gains. Service providers are not allowed to accept amounts in excess of these contribution limits. It is, however, the responsibility of the investor to ensure that these limits are not breached, failing which penalties apply. If any person contributes in excess of the R30 000 in a year or R500 000 in aggregate in tax free investments, an amount equal to 40% of such excess shall be deemed to be normal tax payable in respect of the year in which the excess is contributed. Editor’s comment: Taxpayers should be aware that 40% tax is not on the returns but on the excess contributions"

Oversold daily, buy divergence weekly, oversold monthly, on strong support. Maybe all the bad news is priced in now. A good time to buy i.m.o.

Hi Vince, a few days ago I went through all the TFSA instruments as I am looking to buy some more in early March. I held stxres from Feb/March 2016 until 30 Nov 2016 when I sold them. They did pretty well. On 3 Jan 2017 I bought stxind which is doing ok. When I went through the list I marked several of them that looked interesting for the next few months at least. Unfortunately I am not at home and will only have access to my list tomorrow. I will have another look when I get home and give you my views then. I believe the current year for buying TFSA ends on 28 Feb so those who are not in can buy before end Feb and again in early March (which is what I did last year)). I will probably stay with stxind for a while but I want to buy something else in March to spread the risk.It is important to note that when you sell a TFSA instrument you must leave those funds in the TFSA account where they can gain interest until you buy again. As other forumites pointed out to me a while back, if you take the money out of that account you can't put it back in again!

Ok, I think I had that15 Feb figure wrong-it was about 16.09. Still, close enough to be a possible double bottom!

I'll probably end up with egg on my face but I am calling a bottom on the gbp-zar. On 15 Feb it bottomed at 16.08098. Today it again touched 16.08098 (exactly) and is giving a little bounce.I have been eyeing a sell divergence on the RSI (weekly chart) for some time now. Hopefully now is the time!

Personally, I am still betting on the rand weakening against the pound in coming weeks and hold a bunch of rand hedges: gld, apn, snh, rei, dsy, npn, sol, plus a couple of other resources which will also benefit from a weaker rand. Talk about having all your eggs in one basket!

Hi Werner, welcome back. Now can you give us some share tips with your new-found knowledge?!

Lately I've been more interested in the NPN reverse H and S which formed from 2 Nov 2016, but this is becoming quite an extended right shoulder now!
... View more
Are you talking about the H and S that started in March 2016? I see that but it will have to break through the long term support line which goes back to April 2013 to complete the right shoulder. Possible, but I will wait and see.

Like other rand hedges it is just waiting for the rand to weaken, which I also think is coming soon.

Taking a bit of strain, but I still like it. Big buy divergence on the sto (weekly chart) which suggests some upside over the next few weeks.

BID is having a bit of a pullback today but I think it looks good at these levels (R238-240).
