#228: Where to for the Rand?

Where to for the Rand?

Simon Shares

• The Dow Jones, S&P500 and Nasdaq all closed at all time highs for the first time since December 1999.
• Dog stocks, don't mix price and fundamentals.
• I been buying PTXTEN after exiting my STXDIV and not being blown away by DIVTRX.
• If you had R300, which ETF would you buy? We ask Nerina Visser & Keith McLachlan for their view.
• Trading Master Class, an index trading system is online.

  • Would there be any merit in the argument that Japan is 20 years ahead of "us" (USA Europe world markets that are applying QE) and we could be looking at similar years of sideways movement?

  • I have an aunt who wants to start saving R10k p/m for the next 12 months. What can you advise as the most suitable investment option. She asked for my advise but am not sure what to suggest to her as I think 1 year is a short period.
• Ryno
  • Thanks for the in-depth response to my question. With regulation stopping the building of a Berkshire lookalike wont it be a viable option for a DIY investor to buy say 5 or 6 REITs and use the income out of that as money to buy listed companies?
