What the JSE’s Two-Tier Reform means for small caps

Why liquidity is the hidden tax on every small cap return…
Every investor knows what brokerage costs. It’s on the contract note, in rand and cents, impossible to miss. What almost no retail investor calculates, and what can dwarf that brokerage fee many times over, is liquidity cost. The price you actually pay to get into a small cap, and the price you actually receive to get out of one, when very few shares change hands on any given day.

Markets are messy. Prices jump, stall, fake out, and reverse just enough to shake confidence. Moving averages exist for one reason: to cut through that noise and show you the direction that actually matters.

What three things can traders do to improve their results 2026?

It means knowing where you will exit if you are wrong, and where you will take profits if you are right. If your rules only exist in your head, they will disappear the moment emotions rise.
