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.
How can moving averages help in a Range-Bound Market
Last week, we looked at how to identify a trending market. But markets do not trend forever. In fact, some of the most frustrating trading environments occur when prices stop moving decisively in either direction and begin moving sideways instead. These periods are known as range bound or consolidating markets. Instead of producing clean momentum, markets become trapped between support and resistance levels, often creating sharp reversals and false moves that catch traders off guard.
What is “valuation” – and why does it matter to investors?
You’ll often hear me say a stock is overvalued or undervalued in Red Hot Penny Shares. Or I might say something like: “The valuation of this stock is R10 – but it’s trading at R5.” So, what exactly is valuation? How is it calculated? And most importantly… what should you actually do with that figure?
Don’t even think about buying this JSE-listed small cap!
Not all small caps are hidden gems. Some might deliver explosive upside. But others? They’re ticking time bombs – weighed down by weak balance sheets, shrinking demand, or fading business models. Here’s one JSE-listed small cap you might want to think twice about before buying.
What Really Moves the Market? Understanding Price Action Beneath the Surface
Most people think they understand the stock market. If more people want to buy a share, the price goes up. If more people want to sell it, the price goes down. That’s just supply and demand, right? Yes, but that’s only part of the story. The real engine room of the market is far more complex. If you’ve ever stared at a volatile price chart and wondered how that price is being set moment to moment, you’re not alone. To truly grasp what moves markets, we need to go beyond economics and dive into the mechanics of price action behind the scenes.
Why the Fed Won’t Boost Stocks – But This Just Might
The real driver of U.S. markets right now isn’t interest rates. It’s earnings. And especially, AI. Here’s what you need to know – and what to do next. You’ve probably heard: the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) just held interest rates steady for the seventh straight month. That’s despite the South African Reserve Bank moving in the opposite direction with another rate cut. Fed Chair Jerome Powell made it clear that rate cuts in the U.S. aren’t coming anytime soon – especially with ongoing tariff uncertainties from the White House muddying the inflation outlook.
Is South Africa’s logistics crisis finally turning a corner?
It’s no secret that SA logistics infrastructure has been a major problem for our economy. From rail to ports, the system meant to keep goods moving has become one of the biggest handbrakes on growth. Transnet has been a nightmare for so many companies. Years of mismanagement, underinvestment, and corruption have turned what should be a national asset into a national liability.
Trading Robots – big money or big risk?
Trading robots are everywhere these days. In crypto markets, in forex, in stock trading platforms. They promise speed, discipline, and round-the-clock execution. But what are they really? Are they as useful as they seem? And how do you actually use one without getting burned?
A Growing Trend in the AI Arms Race
You may not have heard of Windsurf — but back in May, this little-known AI coding startup briefly stole the spotlight. Windsurf had built an AI software engineering model called SWE-1. The startup was making serious waves, with over $80 million in annual recurring revenue, more than a million users, and even a $3 billion acquisition offer from OpenAI.
The next Industrial Profit Revolution is coming – and it’ll be led by Robots!
In buzzing warehouses and cutting-edge labs, robots once seen only in science fiction are now working side by side with humans.
Industry leaders describe this moment as a “new industrial age” powered by AI-driven robots, a transformation on par with past revolutions.
Crypto Week – Stay Away or Stay Ahead?
The rise of crypto over the last decade has been nothing short of wild. Just to put it in perspective: in June 2015, Bitcoin closed at $263. Fast forward ten years to June 2025, and it was sitting at $107,000. That’s a 40,000% increase, and the momentum isn’t slowing down. If anything, it’s speeding up.
Trump’s race to secure critical minerals like Copper sets up a huge profit-opportunity!
Stocks aren’t the only asset class that’s recently hit new all-time highs… As I write this, Bitcoin is trading at over $122,000! This all-time high coincides with what has been dubbed Crypto Week. (starting 14 July).
