The ZAR Exchange Rate Thread

[Ady]

Hahahahahahahahaha ROFL That fool can't even think fast enough to speak properly, and he wants to talk to educated people.

So true.

I see dark days ahead. Today on eNCA Vavi reckons that unemployment in the Eastern Cape is around 80%.

Making an investment decision based on what Zuma says is really foolish.

sure, that is the reason why we have no any new investment.

It's a consolidation of about four different threads.

Foreign investment is overrated. Anyway, this sort of thing affects portfolio investors who are more of the emotional types that can get swayed by what one person says. A proper investor who has a substantial share in a company and a seat on the board will note what Zuma has said and will go off to sleep like a baby tonight.

Nope, IMHO many of these investors won't be sleeping at all !

 

[Redeemed]

Zuma gets told what to say.

Like a baby you say, You are so right as the baby will shiit himself crying for when the next feed is coming.

You are such a gullible ANC wannabee.

Rand reaches new low against the $NZ. Its broken R8 for the first time in history. Currently at R8.10.

Time to come on holiday.

 

[Molokai]

When (not if) we hit R10 this year, then Im going to sell one of our cars and buy a scooter to get to work.

What car you selling?

 

[Wag]

Hahahahahahahahaha ROFL That fool can't even think fast enough to speak properly, and he wants to talk to educated people.

Now that was not necessary and so far from the truth. He has a proper proudly south african education. Read the other day he achieve 6 grades or maybe it was grade 6, not to sure now but the fact of the matter is he is a well educated person.

Portfolio investors include pension funds and the like. MANY People depend on these in their retirement.

FDI inflows provide economic growth and also provide forex that the country needs to pay for its imports. How do you think sanctions crippled the SA economy?

 

[bekdik]

HA HA South Africa's state president - my arse.

You have piles?

 

[thestaggy]

Mbeki? You mean that same guy who was president in 2002, when the Rand hit all-time record lows of R13 to the dollar and like R20 a pound? Or a different Mbeki maybe?

Edit: Anyone who expected decisive action from Zumatello really shouldn't be a political journalist though, have they met the guy? He's like our own, even more spineless version of Obama.

To be fair, that massive dip in the value of the currency happened to many following 9/11.

Epic fail of a statement.

Typical of just about every view that sakkiegp expresses, right down to his blinkered support for the ANC.

Lol fantastic


It's the beginning of the end. When historians look back they will wonder why nothing was done to prevent the fall of SA as a country.
