JSE in trouble – and so are South African investors

The JSE is shrinking due to a stagnant economy, threatening investment returns and limiting the options for South African investors.

The question remains, is the DAILY INVESTOR in trouble?

Just invest all your money abroad. If you are not sure how to invest, just stick all your monthly contributions in the SPY ETF. Easy as that. At least you will have some proper growth. Do not invest through local companies in Rands, sign up for an IB account and do it all in Dollars.

Make sure to keep paper records, and that the money is kept in bags, not banks.

Lol yeah there's a reason Warren Buffett is sitting on a $200 billion cash pile.

Lol yeah there's a reason Warren Buffett is sitting on a $200 billion cash pile.

And at 17.5%, Berkshire Hathaway's current cash position is about in-line with its long-term average when measured against the firm's total assets. Berkshire Hathaway has kept cash on its balance sheet at an average of 13% of assets since 1997, according to Bloomstran.

Why Warren Buffett's record $189 billion cash pile isn't the market-crash signal some say it is

"Everybody gets excited, they go hyperbolic about it, but it's not that big of a number," Chris Bloomstran said of Buffett's $189 billion cash pile.

Avoid dollars. Atleast better to focus on euros and pounds. Dollar is unstable at the moment

Comrade, we do not do that here.

Please invest in decolonised currencies like the Ruble and Yuan.

Is it? Euro to Dollar has been pretty stable this year. You worried about elections impact? Longer term shouldn't be an issue.

Wouldn't do pounds with how UK government is going, expected to keep declining in value VS dollar https://capex.com/en/overview/british-pound-gbp-price-prediction
