Simon is back from holiday and all is well with the world again. In this episode we catch up on some of the feedback and questions we received over the past two weeks. Coincidentally all of the questions we didn’t get to were submitted by people named Chris. Next week we’ll do a Chris episode - a Christening, if you will.

In the episode I mention that both David Pretorius and Alec Viljoen recommended I try investing.com for free data. What both of them failed to mention is the aggressive sales call that followed my registration on the site.

5 missed calls from the UK over 2 days. My imagination flies. I finally get to answer. Telesales. pic.twitter.com/qaUHggmAqj — Kristia van Heerden (@kristiavh) November 3, 2016

 You know it’s a sales call, because the person on the other end says, “Thank you for asking” when you ask them how they are. This person also asked me if I don’t trade because I don’t like money. I can’t make this stuff up.

We also delve into how private placements work, how they differ from public offerings and what this means for people like us.
