Okay so everyone has been asking me more or so the same question on "How do you buy shares" and I thought - let me a mini on what, where, why, when, how.

So what are shares?
simply put, shares are stakes or parts of ownership in a company. In this case (on what we are talking about, we are talking financial investments only!).

I think its always best to pay off your debt as much as possible before you venture in to investments. That was you have a bit of cashflow available on your month.
1) Pay off debt
2) Create a savings habit
3. And then Invest.

If I want to buy shares, where do I start?
First thing first. Please read, a lot. Be an avid reader and consumer of Business and Economic news. That will help you up a bit in terms of information.
My favourite local reads are Moneyweb, Business day and the JSE& #39;s sharenet.

Why do you want to invest is very important.
This will help you on your investment strategy. If you know why you want to invest - it also helps you know if you want to be invested in short term or long term, how long and how much you want to invest on the company.

When is the right time to invest or buy in a company?
Always buy when the stock is red or negative. So that when it grows - it grows with you. Weird fact: I find that the first 15 minutes, market volume and prices can and do go wild. (cont.

(cont from prev post)... A lot of company announce news after markets close (5pm). So in the morning, they usually busy making trades based on the news. See this is back to my point about reading - if you read news you can already predict what will drive your stock down or up.
How much should I start with?
I say R500 or less. Just to navigate the Easy Equity system and also, see if you get it or not. But please read and ask where you can... Again... remember the best time to get in, is when the stock is down.

Okay, I am done with the basic foundation....
A lot of people ask me & #39;what to buy& #39; this is tricky because personally - I am not an investment analysts. Maybe my good friend @iamkoshiek can help. But i can share with you, what I have on my portfolio.

I have 70/30 on my portfolio. The 70% ETFs (Exchange-traded funds) and 30% is on equities.
Whats the difference between the two?
Equities are direct to the company - Capitec, sasol etc. ETFs - They are like an investment basket, diversified set of securities and a low cost.

Why is the bulk of my money on ETFs?
The stocks i pick are mostly Tax Free- this means I don& #39;t have to pay income tax, dividends tax or capital gains tax on the returns from these investments. And the annual limit on TFSA R36 000.

On Easy Equity - Tax free savings is the TFSA option .
Like I said, I cant tell you guys what to pick, but I can tell you what I have on my portfolio right now. But remember - wait until the share is down - before getting in.
I have a number of @SATRIX_SA ETFs .
Satrix Nasdaq 100 Feeder Portfolio has been my fave.

I& #39;m going to make an example about one of my stocks -
I have about 11 shares on Sygias 4th IRGE stock.
When I bought them they were
R33. Now they are R33 - so far, I& #39;m happy with their growth...

The best time to buy this one would have been on the 14th of May - during their deep...
Nevertheless... A good buy and they are part of my long term strategy - so I don& #39;t have to panic about them

Equities are bit tricky - and very difficult to decide ... So my strategy is centered around the economy and a bit of understanding of what consumers are buying.
I will make an example - I bought @distellgroup shares a week ago. They are an alcohol producer

We all knew that alcohol was coming back this week right? Markets rejoiced on the day of return (like we all did) ...
I bought them R79.69 per share, now they are *R85.00 (11% up from purchase price).
