Podcast: ETFs, share events and Christmas ruin

Kristia van Heerden 12 December 2016Latest, The Fat Wallet

Who can resist a Christmas theme this time of year? While this episode of The Fat Wallet Show is technically about what happens to ETFs when there is a share event, Simon and I spend quite a bit of time trying to navigate the tricky landscape of gifting. This week's #podcast is technically about #share ...

Podcast: Reviewing my portfolio for 2016

Simon Brown 8 December 2016Latest, WorldWide Markets

Simon Shares Standard & Poor's left offshore debt as is (one notch above junk) and dropped the ZAR debt to two notches above junk and on a negative outlook. Standard & Poor's have to decide on junk or not by end 2017 or change the negative outlook to stable, so another anxious 2017 awaits us. ...

What’s your trading style?

Petri Redelinghuys 6 December 2016Latest, TraderPetri

Imagine you are a sprinter. Imagine that you are really good at 100m sprints and have a real talent for it. Imagine that you have been training as a sprinter for a couple of years. Now, imagine that on a whim you decided to enter yourself into a marathon – you didn’t train for it. ...

Podcast: Renounceable claw-back offers

Kristia van Heerden 5 December 2016Latest, The Fat Wallet

At the beginning of the year I decided to buy Simon’s Momentum Portfolio. Veering from the ETF path, I bought 15 individual shares. Before this brave foray into the world of individual shares, I only held five Sasol shares that I bought on a whim once. Call me Investment Strategy Joe. We may look happy, ...

Podcast: We get questions

Simon Brown 1 December 2016Latest, WorldWide Markets

We get questions Simon Shares Metrofile* (JSE code: MFL) seller in market, use it to pick up some at great price / yield.

Cheap fun

Donna Willan 29 November 2016Latest, Money cents

It’s the end of a long year, its summer, we’re on leave and school holidays have kicked in… it’s so tempting to be doing all those fun, glitzy, end-of-year party type things. Living in Durban, we have an amazing offering of great restaurants, stunning pantomimes, live music, carols and dolphins by candle light and funky ...

Podcast: Short-term savings

Kristia van Heerden 28 November 2016Latest, The Fat Wallet

I bought my Huyndai Atos at a time when I seriously couldn’t afford to buy a new car. Between 0km and about 50 000km I only serviced it once, because it was as young and invincible as I was at 24. I still find it miraculous that we both managed to survive that time of ...

Podcast: Are we Brazilian?

Simon Brown 24 November 2016Latest, WorldWide Markets

Are we Brazilian? Simon Shares Metrofile* (JSE code: MFL) 1million shares on offer at 500c. Subtle? Dis-Chem (JSE code: DCP), like everybody else I did not get in the private placement and I am not looking to buy in the open market. Santova* (JSE code: SNV) getting hit. I hold and continue to hold, not ...

Knowing right from wrong

Petri Redelinghuys 22 November 2016Latest, TraderPetri

Every so often I have to confess a mistake that I have made; and I rather like doing so because standing up and telling everyone that I bombed out on the Rand, or didn’t stick to a stop loss on some or other stock, helps keep me in check and ensures that I stick to ...

Podcast: Choosing a medical aid

Kristia van Heerden 21 November 2016Latest, The Fat Wallet

I hate the legwork that goes into making decisions about insurance and medical aid. Imagine, then, my delight when Wesley Amos asked me to do a show on choosing a medical aid. I procrastinated for a while, but then my friend Amy added her voice to the chorus. Et tu, Amy? @kristiavh please look at ...
