Quick question.. would you guys pull out all your shares even though 90% of mine is in the Red since this Junk Status.. or is their still chance it will go up again and when? Or will it continue to go down, I have R400 Loss.. probably not much but still not sure what to do.. keep and hope it will go up again or pull out now before it gets worse?

Reason for asking is.. Would you rather take the money out and put it towards your Bond Payment on your Home Loan.
What shares to you have atm?

For me that would be the deciding factor

Keep it. Wait. Why do you have Nu world?

haha.. was asked the same on Platinum Wealth, and was told to sell them.. So i have done so :) But made such a loss.. as i did not check the buy/sell Ratio, sold it with like a R10 Lost per share, not happy with that, at least I've learned from that mistake.

Personally, and I'm sure many here would disagree, I'd rather pay off debt than hold on to shares. Yes, there's good debt and bad debt, but most debt is enslaving, so getting rid of that is always a priority for me. If I'm starting a business with limited liability, then sure, debt isn't something I'd worry about, but this case is different.

I pulled out of most of my financial and resource shares. If you waited up to now it's probably too late as they seem to be recovering/fizzling out so you'll only take the loss.

PLG and AXL I'm keeping. Those are the 2 big tickets down the line.

Seen from articles from https://www.sharenet.co.za/ that Nu-World was the new thing and best to invest in them, made like a R700 loss now by selling it, lol.. oh well.
Oh damn dude! ! A loss like that is aweful I can only imagine. Just stay at it perhaps that's your lesson.

I lost quite a bit as well in the beginning I bought Exxaro at the high in end 2014.

I bought Nu-World 1 Month ago for R36 Per Share.. sold today for R26 Per Share.. did not see.. even though it said on EE I have R240 Profit in the green on the portfolio.. So i then though let me sell it while it shows green.. after i sold everything i noticed.. WTF I made a loss here and not profit.. then i noticed the Buy / Sell Price per share is like R10 apart, this is quiet strange? So i took a real beating here.
