We all know how ‘Black Friday' sees the most incredible deals in shops every year…
These deals are typically 30%, 40% and 50% discount on everything you buy.
In the same way I foresee great ‘Black Friday' specials on the JSE this year.
What am I talking about?
Well, since 2018 there have been around 35 companies delisted from the JSE. Around 10% of all the small cap shares on... ››› more
In 2019 alone there have been 19 shares delisted from the JSE.

It's increasingly likely that President Trump will use the 1934 Gold Reserve Act to sell US Dollars and buy foreign currency as a way... ››› more
Over the past year we've seen a number of factors drag the world economy down.

Head over to your nearest shopping centre or mall and you'll notice, a bunch of Cannabis outlets popping up.

There is a continuous debate that goes around both local and global markets during the ninth month.
It's called the ‘September Effect'.

However! No one has come up with a plausible reason for why that is.
Today, I'll go through the facts and stats to... ››› more
What a cold and depressing winter it has been… For the JSE that is.
Since Steinhoff's debacle, we've seen some of the largest companies on the JSE crash 30% to over 89%, which I'll explain in just a minute.
And there are no signs yet for recovery until the end of 2019.

Before Donald Trump escalated trade wars, which sent shockwaves through the markets, stocks were performing well overall.
The major US indices like the Nasdaq and S&P500 were flying.
