South Africa has gone from Lockdown level 4 to Jumanji in the span of two weeks.
It's been nothing but pandemonium.

Even with the right markets, time frames, systems, rules and ideas…
Trading is just not playing out you the way you thought it would.
It's not growing your portfolio at the rate you wished…
It's taking forever to get right…
It's overwhelming with which strategy to choose…
From my experience this is because of one main factor.
You're not treating trading for what it... ››› more

Q. “I refer back to Monday's article. You mentioned that the main reason for the rand's rally was based on global reasons rather than local. Don't you think South African interest rate changes could have an effect on the rands strength too?”
A. As there is no clear-cut answer, I can only speak from my economic background and experience.
Generally, when interest rates ris... ››› more

In March 2021, I sent a prediction article saying the FTSE 100 was ready to rally over 435 points. And last month, it hit the price target at 7,184.
As I mentioned in the previous article, it was a no brainer.
The economy was opening up, the FTSE got upgraded by the OECD and the pound was crashing.
Now that positivity is flooding the market, I expect another major rally for the FTSE 10... ››› more
Q. “Timon, I read your article where you expect the oil price to rally.

An ex executive director of Netcare (who retired 10 years ago), reached out to me the other day.
He was curious to hear my take on the health company as a shareholder.
In short, he asked me to do an analysis over the last 10 years to see if it was more profitable to invest in Netcare shares or invest in a high interest savings bank.
In this article, I'm going to give you a breakdown on... ››› more
Q. “I read that the S&P 500 and Dow Jones digital assets indices have also gone live and are available to investors. Will this also help boost Bitcoin's price as you predicted in Monday's article?”

Most definitely not…
