Easy Equities good or bad?

Because he doesn't want fragments?

Yes, but why not?

 

[Galactica]

Yes, but why not?

Fragments dont give the same rights that whole shares do and if the provider goes under you lose your money?

1. They are ring fenced
2. The fractions don't amount to that much, relatively dealing

It shouldn't be a real fear, but whatever.

Hi Romi,

Yeah, it's been "coming soon" for quite a while now.

Holy schit, the Asian markets issue is really hurting me badly today.

Holding down 2.97%

Leader of the pack being DB X-Trackers Col in Japan ETF which is down almost 5%

There will be some pain all over today.

Does anyone know if Easy Equities allows one to participate in IPOs on the JSE, specifically, the Sygnia IPO in October 2015?

I think they only allow stocks to be sold that have been listed for 30 days. Maybe Romi can confirm.

Managed TFSA?

I'm guessing you pay them money and they buy ETF's for you?

You pay them money and they manage everything on your behalf.

Thanks, somehow I missed that.

Might just be perfect for my daughter's fund as my family also want to pay into it and they dont' like the idea of my hands on management of it.

So I'll wait it out a little bit.

Just emailed them to find out. I will report back when I get a response.

Attention Romi

Romi why do we get this message on certain stocks whereas others are available at that point in time?: "This security is currently unavailable for trading. For phone to trade contact +27 87 940 6101"

Well after hours the stock exchange is obviously closed.

Not sure about other times. Maybe something to do with volumes?

It may be a suspended share.

PTXTEN has done it before. Think I read something about "protecting low volume shares" or something

Perhaps this because I saw the message on several small cap shares, can't be suspension as you can still trade by phone. And highly unlikely for so many shares to suddenly be suspended simultaneously.

It was not closed when I posted that. Maybe volumes.

Hi Romi, every second equity that I want to trade give me the message that it's "Currently unavailable", this include your parent company's equities. This is a bit frustrated, especially since we don't know why its happening.
