How to stock pick in South Africa’s Two-Speed Economy

Zero-Tariff policy for South Africa!?
South Africa recently received one of the most significant trade gifts in its post-apartheid history.
China, the country’s largest trading partner by a wide margin, has implemented a zero-tariff policy covering 100% of tariff lines for South African exports.

Why AI company, Broadcom crashed 14%…
After markets closed, Broadcom – the seventh-largest company in the world by market cap – posted what it described as “record revenue, record operating profit, and record free cash flow.” And then its stock fell 14%. That reaction says more about investor psychology in the current AI market than it does about Broadcom’s business. Understanding the gap between those two things is one of the most important skills an investor can develop right now.
The Dollar Decline and What It Means for Traders
The U.S. dollar has started to lose its shine, and for traders, that spells opportunity.

At last… the JSE gets a world-class growth story in Optasia!

The company recently announced its intention to list on the JSE – or as the market likes to say, it “intends to float.”
Another JSE delisting: Premier makes its move for RFG…
Every now and then, a deal comes along that makes the market sit up and take notice. Not because it’s massive or flashy – but because it tells you something about where confidence is starting to return. That’s what this latest move by Premier Group (JSE: PMR) feels like. The FMCG heavyweight – best known for household staples like Blue Ribbon bread and Lil-lets – has just announced plans to acquire RFG Holdings (JSE: RFG) in a share-for-share transaction.
