    If you had R4k per month ....

    yeah look, ultimately its up to you right... But the facility is amazing. I just think people dont know that you can reduce your payments when it capitalises, as opposed to "paying it off faster" Remember, your money is there and accessible, but will reduce slowly over time as it capitalises. So...

    If you had R4k per month ....

    Youre being a bit antsy. I had exactly the same thing. The amount just needs to be capitalised. Phone the department, give them your Home loan account number and tell them to allocate the R5k to your capital. Ultimately it is capitalising, the calculation for your next interest after reducing...

    fair, but taking the tax over a 5 year period does give a decent spread and reduction.

    Why I don't trust RA's

    this is probably the best way to sum up RA's If you arent reinvesting the tax break you get, with a low cost base at inception, fees will ultimately erode the returns into oblivion. Everyone has different views - mine is simple. Should only have an RA for the tax incentive that comes with it...

    Ive been a big proponent of Sasol this year, holding on for dear Life. Finally broke through my floor price and I have exited my position - its this simple AGM + ESG + Climate change road map and execution to deliver reductions in Scope 1 and 2 emmissions are too slow. Impairment of secunda...

Sitting at a craps table in Monte casino with the table packed Roller of the dices is doing his thing, with the puck sitting on 8. Tables packed with 8-12 players, everyone getting...

    depends on threshold. generally it depends on each companies committee but on average any shareholding over 5%-10% is reportable as its material, in terms of authorised and issued share capital. Depending on liquidity has an impact on share price.

    LEts pose this question from a director/shareholders perspective You work for xxx. You are a director or part of the board. Your salary is disclosed + incentives fringe benefits etc. You work for the company for 2-3 years and your short term share options vest. You excercise your right to sell...

    I think to jump or even remotely mention fraud is a big big accusation. The right answer atleast personally is to say, there are gaps. The delivery of the helium and actual production have had numerous reasons for delay, management are not excluded from this reason. But at present there is...

    is that per year or that monthly? For that kind of extra dividends and interest, you must have quite a sizeable investment holding. Kudus and good for you :)

    Nothing wrong with sticking and holding only a set percentage of your entire investments in a set of ETF's. The difference is, all of us look at specific counters for value, capital appreciation or income growth. I completely get your sentiment where you feel safer in an ETF, costs cheap etc...

    Hmm, Brave to touch PIK. They need huge capital investment to uplift, remodel and refresh their stores. Strategy is all over the place at present. Shoprite and woolies have eaten them for breakfast. Might be worth a stab, but it will be a LONG hold ahead. Margins and foot traffic are PIKS...

    So whats your ceiling here. Does have a breakout here, and I think you have a point. I would put target price at around $280-300. Production of Teslas "Bakkie" is going strong. Its in an interesting trade with good upside, but still has a bottom out below $200 to be honest before going in in my...
