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.
The Hidden Forces Behind Markets: How Institutional Money Actually Moves Markets
While retail traders make up part of the markets, the biggest moves are often driven by institutions. Pension funds, hedge funds, asset managers, insurers and investment funds control billions of dollars and can hold positions that are larger than the daily trading volume of some companies.
Skin in the Game: What director shareholding really signals on the JSE, and how to read it…
When a JSE small-cap CEO buys shares in the open market with their own money, they’re telling you something no analyst report can. Here’s how to find it, how to read it, and why it’s one of the most reliable signals available to a private investor.
El Niño: The weather event that could reshape your food bill, portfolio, and Southern Africa’s future
In 1877, the rains never came. Across huge swaths of the world – southern Africa, India, China, Brazil – crops failed. Rivers dried up. Food shortfalls spiralled into one of the deadliest catastrophes in modern history. Historians estimate that tens of millions perished as harvests collapsed on multiple continents simultaneously.
Most people today have never heard of it.
But scientists now believe the same type of event – a Super El Niño – may be forming again. And the latest data suggests this one could be historically stronger than anything since that 1877 event.
The Hidden Forces Behind Markets: Why Liquidity Matters More Than Valuation
Most people think markets move because of value. A company looks cheap, buyers rush in. A company looks expensive, sellers take profits. Simple. Except that’s not how markets actually behave day to day.
If valuation alone controlled markets, “cheap” shares would immediately bounce, “expensive” shares would immediately fall, and traders everywhere would make easy money. But we all know that’s not reality.
Sometimes a stock looks ridiculously cheap and keeps collapsing. Sometimes a stock looks wildly overpriced and keeps flying higher.
Why?
Because in the short term, markets are not driven by value. They are driven by liquidity.
Nvidia’s results confirmed a much bigger story for AI
Nvidia quarterly results were exceptional. Revenue for the first quarter of fiscal year 2027 surged 85% year-on-year to $81.6 billion, comfortably ahead of market expectations. Adjusted earnings per share also beat forecasts, while Data Centre revenue, the core engine of the AI boom, climbed 92% to $75.2 billion.
The $67 billion power grab signals the next BIG opportunity in AI investing
A new record was created on Wall Street last week. Not by a technology company, chipmaker or an AI startup. Instead, it came from the power industry.
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.
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.
