Doep...In my comment above, I assumed that your funding was from off shore (i.e. not in Rands)...Quagga gives good advise if you are entering with Rands. As regards Skaap's comment on entering in on new market highs and to be cautious, yes agreed, but lots depends on the time frames for your situation, though. Everyone and his auntie called that the markets would be flat this year....How wrong they were...Also do not disregard history, in that most markets, normally are bullish in the last 4 months of the year. With my GBP investments 60% is in tracker funds (30% on S&P and 30% on FTSE Top 100)....Saves paying serious commissions to Fund Managers, the funds of which, historically only outform tracker funds about 25% of the time....My 2c only...Good luck again.
