not when they are charging $20 per USD trade... madness

maybe they've reduced it by 99% but I doubt it

The limit is per transaction. If you want to buy more than the limit allows, you'll have to so via multiple transactions.

And just look at the “spread” when you buy
 
I see only some shares allow you to specify 'place order' and specify a specific price.
Anyone know by which criteria this functionality is enabled/disabled?
 
I have to ask because I'm hoping I'm just using it wrong.

I can't wrap my mind around navigating the UI I am used to without having to click through the abortion that is the new UI first and in between.

Let's say I want to do a few transactions on stocks I own. I go to my ZAR portfolio (old UI), find the stock, click buy or sell, transaction done.

But now I want to do another transaction on one of my other ones. I click on the old ZAR tab and then the whole page reloads, and blesses me with that new UI. Then I have to wade my way back to where I was, a click or 4 later, to do my business.

Am I alone here? Am I doing it wrong?

Usually I can bypass the new UI by clicking back twice after buying or selling. But I forget. I want to cringe when that new UI loads. It's nothing but a road block.

Yep, they ****ed up their whole trading flow. I do the exact same thing. Maybe its muscle memory, IDK, but as soon as I get the "congrats" screen after doing a transaction, I click the ZAR/TFSA button to go back to my account, but end up at their dashboard.

The dashboard isn't bad (it also isn't great) but why the hell does it send you back there.

They literally made transacting more difficult on their platform.

Didnt you closed your EE account and jump ship?
 
Can't say the Clarity interface is much better, I still stumble around... and its also still a bit buggy. But - the service makes up for it.

I did mine for the first time at the start of the year and ROI is not looking good. Why can one only buy ETFs and bonds with EE TFSA?

I personally think, that is the most lowest risk.

I have a PSG unit trust account also (TFSA also).

I like to diversify!

R36k in Apple gear vs maxing out your TFSA? :unsure:

You know the answer.

On a side note. My father has been maxing his TFSA since its inception up until 2024. 9 years contributions worth R336k.
Originally, it was with Capitec, and he then moved it to NinetyOne into some funds.

Value as of today is about R490k. That TFSA will now be disposed of, and the money paid to his estate. Just FYI.
