The Lighter Side of Investing with Archie.
Archie, as always, is full of joy as we return from the festive season break and look ahead to what 2015 has to offer. And why shouldn’t we share his love of life? Sure, they will be the usual challenges and perhaps some new ones in the year ahead. The investing climate will remain tough, Eskom promises to spoil many a party, and we hold our breath ahead of what the taxman has in store for us in this year’s Budget. But at least we start on a good note with fuel prices plummeting which will hopefully lead to a slight decrease in inflation. For sports lovers it will be a landmark year, with our national rugby, cricket and soccer teams all taking part in global competitions which will keep many glued to their TV sets.
So it is with best wishes to you all that the Castle Investments team and Archie wish you a happy, peaceful and prosperous 2015.
