Easy Equities good or bad?

I know where it's positioned. The point is that a password so complex that you don't even know it doesn't need 2FA that is less complex. If my password can be guessed then so can the 2FA. That is a site design issue so 2FA won't protect you there.


Most 2FA I had to enter is 6 numbers so if they can crack my password they'll crack the 2FA in no time.

And I'm not talking about temporary glitches but in cases like where you lose your device or it dies or something. If you use 2FA you have to compromise it in order to stay secure or you risk losing access. The track record for 2FA recovery is abysmal. If you have it on 20 sites and you lose it you have to accept that on a best case scenario you won't regain access to at least 6 of them.

You’ve got it all very very wrong.

You could make your password non-existent and replace it with 2FA instead and it would still be super secure.

Also I’ve never had these issues you have losing access to my accounts. And I have TOTP on 30 odd and a Yubikey for the rest.
 
Anyone experiencing glitch where EE shows entire amount as a loss ? Only affecting Ash/FNB FOF 1200 it seems.
 
Anyone know why Sygnia 4th Industrial Revolution ETF is doing so badly in the last 5 months?

Bought into it for my children's TFSA , logged into to EE and now see it's down 15% since I bought for them.

Sygnia mostly blames Covid and its effects on world economies and geopolitical tensions for the decline. There are still much of both these to come. So, it pretty much gives you an idea where this fund is heading.

My personal opinion is that 4IR is nonesense. In times like this, the best investments you can enter into, which has been proven one market collapse, after another market collapse, is the type of solid companies Warren Buffett invests in. There is a reason why he outranks all other investment companies across the globe in terms of growth.

Any other investments are merely gambling. Might just as well do things faster and take your monthly income to a Casino.

My guess is because of Kensho. You will need to look at constituents to see reason.

Bought for my children too with their birthday money. It tanked literally the day after and hasn't recovered. They are also down 33.9% since purchase.

Indeed, for them , it's more like a 10 year horizon min. Of course, wondering if it's worth throwing some more now, while it is 'low' -hahah.

They were doing well overall in the last year , until Sygnia 4th IR and the EC10 dropped them. Still up about 12% so far.
 
slowly getting rid of EE portfolio and will trust sygnia/coronation etc. They definitely know million times more than me. :ROFL: :ROFL: :ROFL:

Are you selling your holdings because they've gone down? That might be the time to buy more - you know buy low, sell high? (Caveat: don't buy more if the holding is cheap because it's a bad underlying investment like an unprofitable company with a shedload of debt.)

Just out of interest what sort of approach or strategy have you been following? There's a wealth of information out there and I think it is possible to educate yourself somewhat in these matters.

No - I plan to sell when each of the shares eventually (or hopefully) go up by 10% or so. Over last year, I realized that I got other things to do so leaving it to investment houses.

Yip - there is wealth of information I agree. It is just not for me.

p.s. keeping etf's

But if you are buying ETF’s you aren’t doing any real work.

Now you want to piss away with active managers which have proven to historically not outperform investments.

As long as you stick to baskets and not direct shares you’d be doing just fine.

You can still just buy Sygnia through EE, they can still do the work for you.
