We all want to buy low, sell high. Or buy a property at the lowest price possible, and get the best possible rental income from it, right?
So, is there a best time to invest in property? Is there anything to look out for when making your investment?
The reality is, great investors learn to make the best of every market cycle. The key is to have strategies that fit the different market cycles.

Last week the Federal Reserve pushed US interest rates up by 0.75%. This was an attempt to fight inflation which has risen to multi-decade highs.
By raising interest rates, the Fed hopes to slow economic growth and stifle employment. This will reduce the demand for goods and services within the economy and (hopefully) get inflation under control.
It's important to understand reducing growth,... ››› more
A year ago, banks were saying they don't want to finance coal mine development any longer.
European countries were closing down coal power plants.
It looked like there was little interest in the commodity going forward.
But now the price of coal is booming.
In October last year a ton of export coal sold for around $90.
Today it sells between $300 and $400!
That's a big change…

Even though I started my investment ‘career' during my university years, I still wish I had done so earlier.
Even a year or two, well timed, can make a world's difference. There was so much money I wasted on games, gadgets and expensive clothes…
Possibly the most important investment idea not to miss out on…
Investment Idea #1 - The earlier you start - the more you will end up with

Hi, I'm Francois Joubert, Chief Investment Strategist for Red Hot Penny Shares
And today I'm going to show you how a modest investment in a single R2 stock could become the cornerstone of your million rand portfolio.
I call it my “One in a Million Stock Play.”
You might find the idea that one or two stocks could turn a portfolio into more than a million unbelievable, yet many investor... ››› more
If my research is correct, It has the potential to generate as much as 741% in as little as 4 years!
The best part I expect at least 150% in just the next 18 months…
And this stock is selling for less than R2 today!
Imagine…. Buying one R2 stock and seeing it turn R10,000 into R74,100, R20,000 into R148,200 or even R100,000 into R741,000!
Hard to believe right!
But even if this ... ››› more
“The South African economy is BOOMING.”
“The South African economy is BLEEDING.”
Both these statements are true at the same time.
South Africa's economy is back at the size it was before the coronavirus pandemic struck, after growing faster-than-expected in the first quarter.
Gross domestic product expanded 1.9% in the three months through March, compared with revised growth of... ››› more
The bulk of the market is presenting a pretty picture right now.
As I've told investors over the past year - higher oil and rising interest rates would take their toll on the bull market. And it has.
The last time economists were this worried about the economy was during the 2008 financial crisis.
April inflation in the US was a whopping 8.3%, whilst in South Africa it was 5.9%. However, ... ››› more
As a novice trader, it's easy to try and guess where the market's bottom is.
It's easy to see a bounce in a falling market, and assume that things are going up from here.
But calling a bottom is one of the most dangerous things a trader can do. In fact, with trading we say you're trying to ‘catch a falling knife'.
Most traders pile up their positions with a whole bunch of longs (buys) a... ››› more
There's nothing like inflation and rising interest rates to make institutional investors flipflop out of growth and into value!
Just take a recent comment made to Kiplinger by JP Morgan's David Kelly,
“Buy Value Stocks… Use valuation as your guide for stock investing opportunities in the balance of 2022.”

“This is a personal invitation, from me to you, to give Red Hot Penny Shares a try for a whole year with no pressure or obligation whatsoever.”
Since I started with Penny Shares in 2011, we've had 191 share tips closed - with 130 winners.
That's a win rate of 68%. So just more than two out of three shares are winners.
On average out of the 191 shares - the gain is 30%. The average win... ››› more
The JSE crashed 14.45% between 2 March 2022 and 9 May 2022.
Similarly, the Dow Jones index in the USA is down 10.74% year to date of which half of this drop has been in the past month. And the S&P 500 index is down 14.75% year to date.
We hear about inflation, war, lockdowns, supply chain issues all as contributing to this bear market…
So, what is fuelling the market's drop - and are we... ››› more
Uber is one of the most amazing success stories in recent history.
As I write this the company is worth $88 billion today. But it doesn't own any vehicles. And it doesn't pay salaries to employees.
In fact - the company is estimated to have between 3 and 4 million drivers around the world.
Yet the company doesn't have a fraction of the overheads a business with 3 million employees would h... ››› more
First world countries are suddenly dealing with higher inflation than in third world countries!
In the US for instance inflation is currently at 8.5%.
It hasn't been above 4% since 2009. And in the past 25 years it's never been above 6%.
And now inflation is the highest it's been in 40 years!
But it's not just the US that's seeing inflation speed up. The UK, Australia, Canada and much ... ››› more
On the 11th and 12th of April, parts of KwaZulu-Natal received between 200 and 400 mm of rainfall in a 24-hour period.
Scenes from the KZN floods were shocking. I'm sure you saw the scenes of container yards flooded, trucks upturned and infrastructure in the Durban area decimated.
The South African government declared a national state of disaster to respond to the flood hit areas.

Zeder is a little investment holdings company on the JSE. For years it was a core shareholder in Pioneer Foods (acquired by PepsiCo). It also holds a number of other interesting agricultural businesses as well…
But the company's share price is down 62% in the past five years.

In dollar terms the price of corn is up 37%, and that of soybeans is up 36% in the past six months.
We've also seen wheat soar 40% in the past six months.
And this is because of the war between Russia and Ukraine as both these countries are large exporters of corn and wheat.
While this will definitely have an effect on inflation and food prices, large increases in grain prices have an eve... ››› more
Small companies on the JSE have become popular takeover targets.
In 2021, 25 companies were delisted from the JSE, many of these were companies being bought out by management teams or acquiring companies from abroad.
Think of companies like Value Group, Adapt IT, Anchor Group and Spanjaard.
These companies are delisting because their share prices have remained too cheap - and that's creat... ››› more
When war hits, inflation soars, and the economy struggles, investors seek out gold.
This is advice many investors have heard over again.
And considering the price of gold is up from $1,791 in January this year to a high of $2,043 - and still floating around $1,950 this is pertinent advice.
But here's the thing… There are good ways to invest in gold. And then there are BAD ways to invest... ››› more
We're all watching as Russia and Ukraine are in the midst of a bloody war. Over 3 million people have already been uprooted from their homes, and have fled Ukraine. All this following Russian President Vladimir Putin's address to his people announcing a “special military operation” in Ukraine to “denazify” the country.
We're experiencing the uncertainty a war like this brings.
