Market Regimes Explained: Understanding Market Momentum
Over the last two weeks, we unpacked two of the most common market regimes: trending markets and consolidating markets. One moves with direction and conviction, the other chops sideways while traders wait for the next big move. But there is another important piece of the puzzle that sits between the two and often drives the transition from one phase to the next: momentum.
Three JSE Small Caps worth watching right now!
The big names get all the attention. Every headline is about BHP, Naspers, Standard Bank, Anglo American. And that’s understandable. They’re big, liquid, and well-covered. But some of the most interesting investment stories on the JSE are hiding in plain sight, well below the radar of most institutional investors. Here are three small caps worth watching right now.
Three AI stocks to watch in 2026: The companies getting rich from AI – without building a single model
Almost every AI conversation eventually gets to the models – ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Grok. That’s where the public attention goes. That’s what gets the headlines.
But behind every one of those models is a layer of infrastructure that most investors never think about: the networks that move the data, the pipes connecting the processors, and the teams cleaning and labelling the training data that makes the intelligence possible in the first place.
These are the picks-and-shovels of the AI gold rush. And right now, three companies operating in this space are posting numbers that are genuinely hard to ignore.
Google just dodged the breakup of the century – Here’s what it means for Big Tech!
Last week, Alphabet (GOOGL) scored a landmark courtroom victory that will be remembered as one of the defining antitrust rulings of the decade. For months, Wall Street had been bracing for the worst: a forced breakup of Google’s empire. The US Justice Department painted the company as the “monopolist of monopolists”, arguing that its default search contracts, Chrome browser dominance, and Android stranglehold made it impossible for rivals to compete.
Why Company Results Really Move Markets
It’s a busy time for the JSE and an exciting time for local investors. It’s earnings season. All publicly listed companies release their most recent company results and investors pay close attention during these periods. These updates are crucial to making long term decisions about their portfolios. Money is being moved, portfolios rebalanced, billions of shares are bought and sold, and prices start swinging. There are opportunities in the market every day, for both short term traders and long term investors. But digesting all the information is overwhelming, and frankly – it’s easy to get lost in the numbers. Luckily, knowing what to look out for, and what it means can help you position yourself just a bit better.
The Key to Spotting Trading Opportunities
All traders dream of catching the next big move. The entry that feels perfectly timed, the kind of trade that plays out just the way you pictured it. But luck doesn’t get you there. A structured trading process does. Spotting opportunities isn’t about guessing which stock is going to bounce next. It’s about knowing what to look for, where to look, and how to act when the market gives you a signal.
Gold is making record-breaking highs – is it something to worry about?
Gold just smashed through $3,500 an ounce, its highest level ever. That kind of move always grabs attention, but the real question is why traders and investors are piling into the metal. Usually, gold shines when interest rates are low because it isn’t competing with high yields on bonds. It’s also a classic “risk-off” hedge when stock markets turn down. But this latest surge may be telling us something different.
Who’s Buying Up SA’s Small Caps — and Why You Might Want to Pay Attention
Mahube Infrastructure and Curro are completely different businesses. One is focussed on renewable energy investments, and the other is one of SA’s largest private school operators. Yet they share something in common… It’s not that they’re small caps listed on the JSE. Rather, it’s the recent news of potential buyout offers, which sent their share prices surging 34% and 50%, respectively.
Is Nvidia still a BUY after recent earnings?
It’s no exaggeration to say Nvidia has become an engine of global growth. The company now accounts for 3.6% of global GDP growth, a larger footprint than the entire stock markets of the UK, France, or Germany. That kind of dominance means every earnings report isn’t just about one company – it’s a pulse check on the entire AI industry, and by extension, the broader market. The latest results once again showed breathtaking growth, but also a few warning signs.
This AI Boom Isn’t Just Hype — It’s a $400 Billion Supercycle You Can Invest In
Every market boom has its poster children — the flashy, overhyped, overvalued companies that define the mania on the way up, only to crash under the weight of their own expectations. Think Pets.com in the Dot-Com era or meme stocks during the pandemic. So, the natural question is: Is the same thing happening with AI today?
If you own JSE small cap, Wesizwe READ THIS!
Wesizwe Platinum (JSE: WEZ) platinum mine has been years in the making – but the story has lurched from one setback to another. Investors have been promised a world-class platinum operation, yet delivery has been slow, messy, and financially draining. And to make matters worse, its share price is currently suspended from trading on the JSE – but as I’ll explain that soon could be reversed.
Economic Indicators – Inflation, CPI, PPI, What you need to know!
Inflation. It’s the word you can’t escape. Groceries cost more, fuel prices keep creeping up, and suddenly the rent hike email lands in your inbox. That’s inflation in action – the steady rise of prices over time, quietly eating away at your buying power.
To track it, economists and investors use a few key indicators. The two main ones are CPI, which looks at what you pay for everyday stuff, and PPI, which shows what businesses pay to make that stuff. Together, they’re the scoreboard for price pressures. And when these numbers move, central banks, markets, and investors take notice.
Two Investing lessons that could make you rich…
If you look at the careers of value investors like Warren Buffett, Benjamin Graham, and Peter Lynch, one thing stands out. They’ve seen markets crash. They’ve made mistakes. They’ve watched companies rise to glory and others go down in flames. But here’s the thing – they didn’t just survive. Over time, they thrived. And their success wasn’t just because they had clever stock-picking strategies. It was also because they had the right mindset. Today, I want to share two timeless investing lessons that can help you approach the markets with that same mindset – lessons that are just as relevant in 2025 as they were decades ago.
