You get 3 accounts when you register (FICA is very painless with these guys) - your normal trading account for equities and the like, your TFSA for ETF's, and a demo account to play around with R100k

I see they've quietly snuck in scheduled trades so you don't have to wait for the markets to be open.
Just put in your request and it goes through when trading opens the next day.
Works well for us longtermers.

Sounds decidedly like a Market-on-Open order. Personally I won't use this type order.
Been a couple months with a big announcement. Don't think it's a good idea though with their setup. Markets can easily open much lower or higher. I prefer waiting the 15 minutes (or 30 in EE's case) to see the directing things are going.

I want to hear opinions on the EE bundles, particularlyI the #INVEST Aggressive Growth Bundle (Cartesian Capital created it). Fees are at 1.25%. I quite like what I see...
Not sure how MMI fit's into any aggressive bundle - RMI as well. JSE is great and solid - not aggressive IMO. lot's of beaten down shares - Aspen, Medi, Richmont. Not for me, but an interesting mix - not all aggressive though. Some punts on momentum, some on turn around, some quality earners (eoh, adapt,jse)

Wouldn't one be better off purchasing the shares in the bundle separately? It's actively managed, but somehow I doubt they'll be very busy chopping and changing things.
You will have to do the maths on that one. Personally for me, half of the fun in shares is picking shares that i have researched. But for those that are not inclined - I think it's a decent bundle - but would probably take DIVTRX over it - being similar shares but slightly more diverse - less resources but more retail and banks. Less costs of course and a handy dividend.
I'm putting a couple 100 in the aggressive bundle every month just to see what it does. So far the growth is 0,5% in 2 months.
I like it cause I don't own many of the shares in the bundle so it helps me diversify in shares I would not normally look at.
Hmmm, pot + kettle. In this case there's only pots though.You traders are so uptight
