Carel Nolte and Charles Savage met at school, yet it was many years later at the finish line of the Comrades Marathon (of all places) that the two bumped into each other again. Charles pitched the idea of EasyEquities to Carel and the rest is history, with the two embarking on a journey that probably made the Comrades seem simple.
In this episode of Ghost Stories, we delve into the data around the behaviour of investors on the EasyEquities platform. We look at concepts like popular stocks, the use of offshore accounts and the amount of brokerage that EasyEquities has helped these investors save.
Along the way, we discussed various listed companies and how important ETFs are for any investment portfolio.
Get ready for an insightful and fun episode with a guest who has been instrumental in the success of the EasyEquities platform. Listen to it using the podcast player below:

Thanks Carel and Ghost I really enjoyed this conversation. It is proof to me that I find myself in good company.
My guess on who on the JSE has the most shareholders would be Sibanya because it trades more shares daily in my portfolio than any other share I hold be far. There are very few days when something trades more than it over a day. I suspect Sasol also likely has a broad shareholding.
