  • Santova (JSE code: SNV) released results that had some dodge workings with the results. Last year they had some abnormal items in their HEPS that they were more than happy to accept. This year they're saying, no take those out to compare against this year as we didn't have the abnormal profits. Well hang on, you can't have it both ways. Either you include and compare or you don't. This is why I always only use diluted HEPS, none of this normalised HEPS nonsense. That all said I hold the stock and am happy.
  • The indices will be adjusting on 21 December with AngloGold Ashanti (JSE code: ANG) exiting the Top40 and that means no gold stocks left in the index for the first time ever. The gold industry is dying locally and has been for a while and this really just confirms that slow death spiral.
  • MTN (JSE code: MTN) has seen their fine reduced to USD3.2billion. A good reduction but still a massive number. The company also announced a series of "new operating structure and senior management changes" to prevent another fine happen. Frankly too late and also not as easy as just shifting some managers, this is about culture and that's deep rooted. I remain a happy non shareholder having sold when the news first broke.
  • We updated the momentum portfolio ad are proposing some changes. Check the video out here and give us your feedback on the changes.
  • Join us on 7 December for the last JSE Power Hour of the year at the JSE. Topic is 'positioning your portfolio for 2016' and being the last function of the year we'll have drinks afterward and we've invited all the speakers from the year so you can mingle and ask questions of them.


Year end portfolio review

  • Do your trading systems need tweaking?
  • What have your returns been?
  • What stocks are you keeping or looking to add?
  • Has your portfolio seen any style drift?

  • Astoria (JSE code: ARA) listed yesterday and traded pretty much inline with net asset value (NAV) of USD1.00. I hold and like it very much. But it could be a tough year for the stock if Rand strengthens and US markets slow.
  • Balwin (JSE code: BWN) published their first set of results as a listed company, for the six months ending August. Really strong numbers but one confusing comment from management was that the second half of the year is seasonally stronger than the first. yet this is over the Christmas holidays when builders shut down and surely people are not buying houses while also buying Christmas presents?
  • Pioneer (JSE code: PFG) results were confusing with the company trumpeting adjusted HEPS growth of 23%. But adjusted for what? I always use the simple diluted HEPS which was up 12% and I know exactly what it means.
  • Join us on 7 December for the last JSE Power Hour of the year at the JSE. Topic is 'positioning your portfolio for 2016' and being the last function of the year we'll have drinks afterward and we've invited all the speakers from the year so you can mingle and ask questions of them.

  • Franz
    • I bought Steinhoff shares about a year ago and they have done really well. However, I am a bit confused now regarding the delisting from the JSE and the listing on the FSE. Does this mean I have to sell my shares? What happens if I don't sell them before they delist from the JSE? I see the deadline is 27 November.
  • Stephan
    • I've had it twice now that I've been offered shares in lieu of a cash dividend (most recently on Steinhoff). Is this a case by case decision or is there a general rule of thumb to follow? If it is case by case, is there a simple analysis process to follow for a decision?

Simon Shares

  • MTN (JSE code: MTN) continues to fall as the latest rumour says the fine will not be reduced but that it could be paid off in instalments. However MTN has as it there way not issued any SENS on this so the market remains blind with only rumours to speculate on. I consent to stay away and will continue to do so.
  • Balwin, Stor-Age, Trellidor, M-FiTech (JSE codes: BWN, SSS, TRL & MFI). What's the common link? All recent listings currently trading below listing price. Not a good sign for a listing boom.
  • Join us on 7 December for the last JSE Power Hour of the year at the JSE. Topic is 'positioning your portfolio for 2016' and being the last function of the year we'll have drinks afterward and we've invited all the speakers from the year so you can mingle and ask questions of them.

  • Lonmin (JSE code: LON) a disaster of a storey. Back in July 2008 Xstrata offered GBP33 a share valuing he company at around R100billion at the time. It was rejected as under valuing the company. Stock has traded over R600 in 2007, now under 200c and a massive (seriously massive) rights issue at 21.4c.
  • This national drought is getting very real with all sorts of implications for local companies, and none of them good.

  • MTN (JSE code: MTN) really is making a mess of a bad situation and I have sold my holding as I can no longer trust management.
  • Capitec (JSE code: CPI) has boomed through R600. Nothing can hold this stock back.

  • Arin
  • Robert
    • My understanding is that SARS will distinguish between amounts invested, on the one hand, and PROFITS MADE as a result of the deposits. Can I therefore withdraw my PROFIT at will, without lowering my lifetime cap? Can I replace my withdrawn profit in the next tax year? If the distinction between PROFIT and deposits are not made, and the withdrawal of ANY amount affects the lifetime limit, then TFSA accounts are only beneficial when the lifetime limit is reached and a single bulk withdrawal is made.
  • Marcus
    • I have bought some shares of a certain company,the fund has grown and i have made a profit. Please advise if its wise to cash out the profit and leave the original investment intact? Do you think it is wise to re-invest the gain on the same stock again once the price goes lower again?
  • July
    • I wish to invest in shares and would like get more information in this regard.i wish to contribute a thousand rand monthly.
  • Robert
    • Should we as part of our budget keep hard cash at home in a safe? If so how much? If one kept say, R 20 000 in a safe, or any significant amount, one would lose money not invested. In this age of debit cards surely that amount of money is better off in a Capitec savings account earning at least 4,50 percent interest. A family member seriously suggested cash in safe in case of a "run on the banks".

  • Balwin (JSE code: BWN) listing has been modest very modest as the stock trades around 1020c after listing at 988c and the first trade at 1100c.
  • Lonmin (JSE code: LON) announces a massive rights issue to deal with their debt maturing in the second quarter of 2016. Initially a massive spike (short squeeze) before it settled down.
  • Famous Brands (JSE code: FBR) were not bad. But top line growth did not translate into bottom line growth as margins got squeezed.

  • Sygnia (JSE code: SYG), I got 3.85% allocation which was far from thrilling and have sold my holding.
  • Pick n Pay (JSE code: PIK) results looking good. Margins still tight with trading margin 1.3% vs. 1.2% and share still expensive but turn around is happening.
  • Mediclinic (JSE code: MDC) becoming Al Noor via a reverse take over. They will have 73 hospitals with around 10,200 beds and 35 clinics, and nearly 32,000 employees across Middle east, UK and SA.

  • Lots of new listings hitting the JSE. Here's my 5 words on each.
    • Sygnia - have applied and will sell
    • Balwin - also applied and will hold
    • Waco - bad sector, stay far away
    • Trellidor - why owners selling if great?
    • Capital Appreciation - SPACS not my investment style
    • Capital and Regional - prefer property via an ETF
  • Platinum stocks are all over the place, Lonmin (JSE Code: LON) has doubled since low of 29 September 2015. Aquarius Platinum (JSE code: AQP) is being bought by Sibanye Gold (JSE code: SGL) and Implats (JSE Code: IMP) has raised their R4billion just below current share price. But sector remains tough. The bounce is in part from very over sold and rumours of more deals.

Craig Gradidge, Investment and Retirement Planning Specialist at Gradidge Mahura Investments
A question from Sharon (below) asked the question, how much to save for retirement? The immediate answer seems easy, the often touted 15%. But is that true? Surely as we're all different we all need different answers? So Craig helps us unpack it all.

  • Sharon
    • How do I calculate how much money I need to invest monthly in order to retire? Also how to optimise the capital growth of one's ETF portfolio? I have been listening to your webinars since 2011. It has been such a help. In 2011 we had 2 bonds to pay off and a car. Since 2014 we are debt free. By learning from your webinars I find you can focus where your money goes ! and make the necessary sacrifices/changes. My problem is that I am so busy squirrelling the money away that I do not set enough fun money aside for my husband and I to do things we could enjoy doing together.
  • Robert
    • Satrix Divi+ (JSE code: STXDIV). This ETF selling for under R2.00. My ETF time horizon is long term. The price is so low, I want to buy but think there may be something wrong with this ETF. Would you recommend buying? Is this asking price "normal"?
  • George
    • Today I shorted my first ever position based the news that SAB Miller have rejected the AB Inbev offer. When the news about the initial offer broke, there was that sharp increase in the price. So my (fairly inexperienced) expectation was that with this offer falling through, that the share price would drop down to where it was a month or so ago. This however has not happened, what is the factor that I have not considered? I am not saying that the JSE is broken. But right now, that's what it feels like.

Simon Shares

  • Capitec (CPI)* results, as a shareholder I liked them a lot, HEPS +25% on PE os 21x. Loan duration and size down that shows their ability to turn the taps on / off at will. Cost to income edges another 1% higher while they continue to grow clients and deposits.
  • Tigerbrands (TBS) CEO steps down. Has not been a happy period for him; Nigeria, Kenya, losing market share at home.
  • Glencore (GLN) Goldman Sachs and Investec both issued reports that their debt levels are too high and shareholder equity could erode down to nothing. Right now being a mining company with debt is bad news, hence Implats (IMP) doing a rights issue and Lonmin (LON) looking very ill with large debt burden due in 2016. "Peak prices in gold and silver are four years old". How much longer can this commodity sell off continue? Likely longer than anybody expects.

  • China and the impact on commodity prices and what of Chinese consumers and Naspers (NPN) and Richemont (CFR). We also chat VW, how to manage this sort of crisis if one was a shareholder, the long term impact on platinum and finally a quick word on Sygnia as an investment.

    • Say AB Inbev buys SAB and de-lists them from the JSE, what happens to my SAB shares in my Satrix Indi ETF? What if they offer AB Inbev shares for SAB shares and I want to swap them for AB Inbev shares? This seems to be a downside to ETFs/Unit Trusts that I have not experienced until now. Same with rights offers, etc, on shares in ETF indexes. Please advise.

Thoughts from Simon

  • Mark Douglas has passed away, sad day for traders and perhaps an important reminder that there's more to life than just trading and markets?
  • Mr Price (MPC) has been sluggish ever since that nasty trading update, seems maybe it coming alive again?
  • Truworths maybe going into the shoe business in the UK. Tough market, not an exciting acquisition.
  • SABMiller, finally Anheuser-Busch InBev has arrived. Maybe.

  • Christo
    • In your podcast two weeks ago you discussed the Proptrax SAPY and the Proptrax Ten. In it you discussed how you prefer the Ten over the SAPY because GrowthPoint is too heavily weighted in the SAPY while in the Ten all companies are equally weighted and you like equal weightings. So my question is why? I can understand how it is bad when one company is too heavily weighted compared to others but surely there is a case to be made for some companies to be weighted a little more heavily than others? Especially if you want to track the index more closely?
Sep 9, 2015

Thoughts from Simon

  • Sibanye (SGL) buying Anglo Platinum (AMS) unwanted mines for R4.5bn. This is R1.5bn up front and a further minimum payment of R3bn based on free cash flow generated. Good for AMS but for SGL we'll see. Can Neal Froneman (CEO of SGL) make profits where others couldn't? Certainly that is his reputation but this is not going to be easy. Also SGL shareholders now have a gold/platinum company when they initially bought a gold mining company, will that matter to shareholders?
  • Sasfin (SFN), more great results form them and they're trading on a Price to Book (P/B) of around 1.5x which for them is reasonable.
  • Santova (SNV) have issued a cautionary, no idea what it is about but I would think it is about an off shore deal rather than local. Management have been commenting that off shore if their future and they've recently surpassed half their profits coming from off shore (Hong Kong, Europe, Australia and UK).

  • MrPrice (MPC) has spooked the market sending the stock down 13% n the day. The update was that horrid but when you're a high flying stock you have to do better.

    • Your boot camp was appreciated yesterday however it has raised a query in my mind. I own DSY, which  is 25% owned by RMI which I own, which is owned 30% by REM which I own. On that basis do you think that my focus is too concentrated in terms of correlation?

    • I know that you say this might be different for everyone, but I would like to have some idea of where to start in “deciding” what a price is that I like. An example that you have often used before is Discovery, you mentioned that often or every time the share price drops to ~R120, you would add to your portfolio. My question is, let’s assume that the share price has since moved up to R200 over a year or three, what would be your new buying price? The odds of it dropping to R120 again becomes smaller and smaller every year.

    • What does YOUR trading platform consists of – “hardware-wise”? How I'd love for it to be as simple as the one belonging to the guy in those IG ads; I'm learning to sleep with the fact you probably don't solely use your Mac though. Hoping it also isn't as complex as eight screens in your office. If possible, please enlighten me.
