Satrix resi

Its been down the last few years, I think its a good time to start buying.
Resourses will make a comeback, they have been showing signs of recovery.
Stx Resi is up about 16% (excl divi's) the last 6 months.
So looks like a good time to get in, as its cheap.
 
Or, if you not willing to take too much risk, look at satrix 40, it has high exposure to resourses (about 31%)
 
Why is the Satrix Resi unit price so high? Something like R52...

This is the price of J210 - Resources for the last while. (The Benchmark)

Dunno. Resource shares are not something I would buy for long term holding right now. To much chance of a secondary economic shock related to US and EU government debt leading to another recession. It that happens demand for resources would plummet.

Where would you put your money?
 
with the rumblings the anc are making towards mining is it not very risky to go into that space?
 
Where would you put your money?

My bond. Paying off debt right now so I have the easy answer and the sure return. Once the bond is gone I am hoping this storm will have passed and that markets will be at a new normal. Right now the JSE's average PE ratio is way above the long term average so I am not sure buying into the market is wise at all right now. I guess there is always some money to be made somewhere and if you have done your homework you can make money even in a flat or down market but its much harder at those times.

Anyways, I am hoping this secular bear market will be ending around the time my bond is paid off so that I can start investing into the next bull market. Still. Will have to see how it plays out. For now the only shares I am holding are some Satrix Divi as they have returned an average 11% over the past 5.5 years despite my purchasing right before the 2008 crash.

Markets can be so confusing, some people say its a bear market while the JSE hits new highs and the industrial funds get 40% returns in 1 year...

That is a safe way to do things.
I do a bit of both.
 
Yep, me too. My homeloan is like 6.8% interest, most investments (except satrix resi lol) would beat that. .

Bear in mind that 6.8% is an after-tax return, so you should compare investment alternatives the same i.e. take income tax into consideration (normal or CGT).
 
STXRES has been flat for 3 years. You would have done better at the Post Office. Of all the SATRIX's the IND would have given the best at 30% pa over the past 3 years.
If you thinking that because it HAS been flat, it will pick up now. That is plain gambling. It will not make gains due to the sector turbulence and this will continue for some time to come.

New heights? You do realize that the points system they measure the markets in does not have inflation built in right? The ALSI being 40,6K right now is significantly lower than the 39K attained in early 2008. For the market to have even just tracked inflation of 6% since then we should be at 52K. We are effectively still 28% lower than the 2008 figure 5 years later so yes, definitely a bear market. 5 year real growth of -28% is a bear if ever there was one. If we then consider that real inflation is significantly higher than the governments manipulated numbers then its even worse.

Where is the 39k in 2008, and does J203 include dividends?
