Three JSE Small Caps worth watching right now!
Markets love noise: wars, oil prices, interest-rate calls. But some of the best opportunities come from companies that simply get on with fixing themselves while everyone’s distracted. The three small caps I’m sharing today have each done exactly that.
Nvidia just agreed to pay $13 billion for something it could have built itself… And it reveals where the next big money in AI could be made!
Something interesting happened in Silicon Valley earlier this month.
Nvidia, the company that has made billions selling the chips powering the artificial intelligence boom, agreed to spend almost $13 billion buying a company most ordinary investors have probably never heard of.
Trading Gurus: Who Should You Actually Listen To?
The internet these days is packed with self-proclaimed gurus and influencers promising to show you the secret to beating the market. But when everyone seems to have the answer, how do you know who is actually worth listening to? This week, we tackle three questions: what a trading guru really is, whether you should pay for a course or mentor, and when paying for investment research can make sense.
Signals from the Market: Putting It All Together
Over the past four weeks, we’ve explored the three pillars of market analysis: technical, fundamental and sentiment. Fundamental analysis tells us what is happening inside the business. Technical analysis tells us what is happening to the price. Sentiment tells us what investors think and feel about both. On their own, each provides useful information. But when the three start telling the same story, things get interesting.
Why do so few JSE small caps pay dividends…
A Red Hot Penny Shares subscriber wrote in last week with a question I’ve been wanting to address for a while. They noticed something that’s been quietly frustrating income-focused investors for the past few years. Where have all the small cap dividend payers gone?
The debasement trade is back! Here’s what it means for investors….
If someone was slowly, quietly shrinking the value of every rand note in your wallet – not stealing it, just making each note worth a little less every single year – what would you do with your money? You’d move it out of cash. You’d put it into something they can’t shrink. Something with a fixed supply. Something that governments can’t print more of on a Tuesday afternoon when the budget looks bad. That instinct has a name in financial markets. It’s called the debasement trade. And in 2026, it has become one of the most important and most misunderstood investment themes on the planet.
Signals from Sentiment Analysis
We’ve already explored technical analysis, which helps us understand the market’s medium-term direction, and fundamental analysis, which helps us estimate a company’s long-term value. Now we come to the final, and perhaps most fascinating, pillar of investing: sentiment.
Signals from Fundamental Analysis
While technical analysis studies what the market is doing, fundamental analysis asks a different question: why? Instead of focusing on price movements, it examines the underlying business to determine whether it is becoming stronger or weaker, and whether its current share price reflects its true value.
Unitree, a robot company, most investors have never heard of went public – and it could change how you think about the next decade
Recently, shares in a company called Unitree started trading in Shanghai. You’ve probably never heard of it. But there’s a decent chance you’ve seen its robots without knowing it. The ones doing backflips, running like sprinters, even throwing kung fu kicks in viral videos that rack up millions of views.
The Dividend Trap that’s about to catch a lot of South African investors off guard
I want to tell you about a mistake I’m watching a lot of income investors make right now, without even realising it. For years, the playbook was simple. Find a stock with a fat dividend yield, buy it, collect the cheque, repeat. Easy money, especially while interest rates kept falling and every income-hungry investor was chasing the same handful of high-yielding names.
Technical Analysis Signals: What is the Market Telling You?
Every day, millions of buyers and sellers interact in the financial markets. Every transaction contributes to one thing: price. While news headlines often dominate conversations among investors, technical analysts begin somewhere much simpler. They begin with the chart. The purpose of technical analysis is not to predict the future with certainty. Instead, it interprets the signals hidden within price action to identify where the probability of success may be greatest. By understanding what the market is communicating, investors can make more informed decisions about when to buy, when to sell, and when to simply wait.
When stock markets break: South Korea’s market warning every investor should have seen
Recently, South Korea’s stock market did something that almost never happens. The KOSPI (South Korea’s equivalent of the S&P 500) plunged nearly 13% in a single session, triggering an emergency circuit breaker for the second consecutive day. At its lowest point during that session, the index had fallen 44% from the all-time high it had set just one month earlier.
Billions of dollars erased. In a month. From a market that had been one of the hottest on earth. You might be wondering why you should care about South Korean stocks. Here’s why…
“Demand Destruction” vs “Demand Deferral”: Why it matters more in small caps than anywhere else
Every JSE small-cap investor has experienced this. A company you own reports disappointing results. Revenue falls. Earnings miss expectations. The share price drops 30% in a day. Before asking whether you should sell, ask a different question: Is this demand destruction or demand deferral?
