Shocked? I was too, when three days ago the ZAR touched its worst level ever!
And the awful reality is, it's not about to rally back to R14.00... ››› Read more

Remember, last month, I introduced a crypto concept called “decentralised finance or DeFI".

March 2020, will be known as one of the most brutal months that the JSE and the equity markets have ever seen.

CEO - JSE, Leila Fourie, said in an interview about the value drop and trade volumes:

This week I received a mail from a client asking me “How can I be sure my broker doesn't run away with my money - or that my investments are safe with them?”
At first I thought it might be a bit dramatic - worrying about these things right now. But then I thought about the 2008 financial crisis and how Lehman Brothers went belly up. Lehman Brothers was one of the largest brokerages and inv... ››› Read more
Today will mark the end of the worst quarter for SA shares, having suffered the global fall out of the coronavirus.

As I write this, over 1.8 billion people are currently in lock down.
This includes us, South Africans, as of 26th of March 2020.
And while most of us are twiddling our thumbs at home, we are probably asking the same questions.
1. What can I do with my time?
