It’s NOT the petrol price you should be worried about… It’s diesel!
From Wednesday 2 September 2026, something took effect that will work its way through the South African economy for months. The wholesale price of the premium grade of diesel rose over 11% – pushing the inland wholesale price back above R30 a litre in Gauteng for the first time since May.
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?
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.
Xi, Trump and the Thucydides Trap
“Can China and the United States overcome the so-called Thucydides Trap and create a new paradigm of major-country relations?”
That question is not neutral. It is not diplomatic small talk. It is a frame. And once you understand the frame, the entire relationship, and everything that comes out of Beijing this week looks very different.
How to protect your portfolio during a prolonged inflation shock
South Africa entered 2026 in its best inflation position in 21 years. Inflation had fallen to 3% – right on the Reserve Bank’s new target. More rate cuts were on the table. Consumer confidence was cautiously recovering. After years of grinding cost-of-living pressure, there were genuine reasons for optimism. Then the Iran war started. And the numbers started moving in the wrong direction.
What isa trend and how to recognise it?
Markets don’t move in straight lines forever, but when a strong trend develops, it can feel incredibly obvious in hindsight. The problem is that most traders only recognise the trend after the biggest move has already happened.
The silicon chokepoint: why the 2026 AI chip shortage is different — and how to invest in it
After two years of explosive gains in AI related shares, many investors now assume the biggest opportunities are already behind us. Which is understandable given how strong the returns have already been. But despite that performance, I continue to believe the broader AI cycle is still in its early stages.
What’s happening at JSE listed Clientèle?
If you’ve followed the JSE long enough, you start to recognise a pattern. A company generates decent profits. It pays reliable dividends. But the share price never really goes anywhere – because the stock is thinly traded, institutions can’t get meaningful exposure, and the market quietly forgets it exists. That’s the Clientèle story. And now, after years of trading at a stubborn discount, the company has decided to do something about it.
Three JSE Big Dividend Stocks to watch in 2026
I’m profiling three JSE dividend stocks worth watching in 2026. Companies that don’t just pay dividends but have built the kind of durable earnings machines that make growing your income possible year after year.
Free Trading Tools (Part 2): The Exact Setup I Use
Last week, we covered what traders actually need to succeed and where to find those trading tools, for free. The message was simple. You don’t need expensive software to trade well. You need the right tools, used in the right way.
After 59 Years, the UAE just walked out on OPEC. Here’s why it matters…
Recently the United Arab Emirates (UAE) did something that would have seemed almost unthinkable a year ago. After 59 years of membership – since Abu Dhabi joined the cartel in 1967 – the UAE announced it is leaving OPEC, effective May 1.
