The budget and your investments
The budget and your investments

Simon Shares

  • Murray & Roberts (JSE code: MUR) mystery buyer is out, ATM Holding, Munich with now almost 25% stake in MUR. So now what, surely they don't want just 25%?
  • Shoprite* (JSE code: SHP) merger is off and their results were excellent. I am a double happy shareholder.
  • Adcock Ingram (JSE code: AIP) results show turn around happening but share price seems to be pricing this in already on PE of over 20x.
  • Mediclinic (JSE code: MEI), Al Noor a less than rosy acquisition for the company. Why do these big deals always seem to go wrong?
  • Upcoming events

* I hold ungeared positions.

Trading tax-free accounts

In last weeks JSE Power Hour on tax-free investing Simon mentioned trading a tax-free account. This got many excited thinking about derivatives and shares, but no. The restrictions for tax-free accounts remain but Simon has ways we can still trade without gearing and enhance returns (or losses).

    • Honestly, it's never been easier or this cheap to bulletproof your Rand wealth through diversified products covering the globe.
  • Janus
    • I'm heavily invested in STXIND. Obviously not happy with the performance at the moment. I would like to stay with Satrix but was thinking of selling all STXIND and buy STXRES. Good or bad plan? Perhaps go 50/50?
  • Many people
    • I want to buy an unlisted share, is it a good idea?

  • Anton
    • Do you know why I am paying double the share price to purchase a share at my broker? Is it brokerage fee?
  • Hendrik
    • At which point do we have to outsource the investment club to protect the alliance. Each member's share is now quite substantial.

Investment clubs

A few requests on investment clubs; how to set them up, manage them, regulations etc. So here's my views, ideas and suggestion for getting your own investment club off the ground.
