The gold price just hit an all time high ($1,944/ounce). That's R32,000 in South African Rands. How heavy is an ounce? Roughly the same as a 60 watt light bulb or a CD.

EasyEquities just updated their Terms & Conditions to allow them to take ownership of your securities and transfer them out of your account and lend it to someone else for a fee.

Here's what it means for you - including the rights you have in this situation [Thread] #BankerX
EE sent out a mail outlining the changes to their T&Cs. The fine print is extremely dry but it's REALLY important. Main change is an insertion of Clause 36 - securities lending

In short, you agree to give up ownership of your shares to EE for up to a year (for a fee).
What is securities lending?

Securities lending is simply when you allow someone to borrow your securities & they pay you. Think of your stock as a book. You're lending someone your book and they pay you to borrow it. They agree to return the book within 12 months.
