Satrix shares.

Hi guys. Maybe you can give me some input.

I have about R3000.00 in the Divi...and about R7000.00 in the Top 40 now. I recently checked before putting in the latest R5000.00 and the Top 40 was doing a lot better than the Divi. Do you think it would be better to rather just take what I have in the Divi and move it over to the Top 40? I know past performance does not indicate future performance etc.

What would you guys do?
 
Over the past 5 years DIVI greatly outperformed the Top40.

I'd just do nothing but just continue putting contributions into both (alternating the lumpsums between them if not doing the monthly thing).

The top 40 has a high weighting in industrial shares, like SAB and Naspers, all of which have done extremely well. The problem however is that those industrial shares are trading at extremely high P/E ratios relative to their historical P/E ratios, just like resources did during the super cycle. When this correction will take place is anyone's guess. Just something to keep in mind.

Such is life. Divi has been awful over the past few months. Keep doing your normal contributions and sit tight.
With the recent Divi drop I have actually bought more shares than in the 40, im hoping it recovers nicely.

Leave it as is. No point in hoping between the Satrix's imo.

Yeah, pretty much what i do at the moment.
 
On topic is there an iOS App anyone knows about other than Moneyweb's that tracks your portfolio?

Their App is really ***.
 
So I am very late in entering this thread and feeling helluva lazy. Sorry. :o

Investing in Satrix... lump sum or monthly amounts or both?

And is it directly with Satrix or could I go through my onlne share trading account through Standard Bank?

You can buy through both, for small amounts, probably cheaper through satrix themselves, but larger amounts will probably be cheaper through your broker.

To answer your other question, my personal opinion is to select a monthly amount forcing you to save. I've chosen an amount I can do fairly easily which in most cases means I have money left over at the end of the month. After a couple months, if I still have money left over I'll do a lump sum to clear my current account unless I'm saving for something else.

To cut if short, I do both!
 
I do monthly, any extra money i put aside, when it goes above 5k and i still dont need it i put it in one of the funds

Does it allow you to a portfolio once you register? Because all I see is the forum-like chat stuff.

www.sharenet.co.za is apart from the www.sharechat.co.za The first one has boxes on top for a portfolio that you can click on and make up your portfolio but it is quite complicated. The second link is the Sharenet Forum.
I use Bloomberg App for my Galaxy Tab by going to "Play Store". Download it and enter your shares and the prices you paid.

Thanks all. Appreciate the information and feedback. I am investing in the JSE but I have been hearing that Satrix is a good long term investment. So then both it will be.

Thanks nakedpeanut. I echo your post. The STXFIN is too risky but I like the stocks you mention that are in the STXIND. Especially the SAB that has the most exposure and as it is non volatile. So the Indi is the ETF of my choice so far.

define risk? Is all your money in CML not risky? No matter where you have your money ,the stock markets tanks,so will CML,or satrix.Should you not be asking questions about fixed income then if you think SRXFIN is risky.Hope u understand my point

I cannot define Risk in 1 sentence but if 2 investors have the exact same stocks, the risk for 1 may not be the same for the other. What I mean by this is that I know CML and when to get out. Some investors in CML may not be as clued up or even watching the price as I do. So I am less at risk. Not so?

Your next remark. No. CML does not react to most market corrections (not crash) During larger market corrections, CML's down movement is mitigated. I have posted the reasons here on another thread.

That was off T. and don't even talk about Fixed Income or MM's as the return is dismal.

Most of my questions have not been answered.
