The Purple shall rule! Mrs CB left this message on our SAA page: "My daughter was returning from Bloem to Jhb today and as her meeting finished early she rushed to the Bloem airport to get onto standby for the earlier flight.She was the first person to have her name taken as stand by passenger. Others were then put on to the flight ahead of her. When she queried this she was told that there is no queue for stand by passengers and the attendant simply shrugged her shoulders. My daughter was keen to catch the earlier flight so that she could pick up her two year old and drive down to Howick, KZN to spend the weekend with us. A more caring, concerned attitude for individuals plights would be such a pleasant change."

The Bottom Line: "When bargains are scarce, value investors must be patient; compromising standards is a slippery slope to disaster. New opportunities will emerge, even if we don't know when or where. In the absence of compelling opportunity, holding at least a portion of one's portfolio in cash equivalents (for example, U.S. Treasury bills [Ed: or Money Market Funds in South Africa]) awaiting future deployment will sometimes be the most sensible option."
