With turbulent markets abound, share your thoughts on the darlings and dogs out there on the stock markets which we could discuss on a daily / weekly basis as the markets ebb and flow.

Let's help each other make a buck or save a buck with some tips and suggestions on local stocks, ETFs, funds, foreign stocks, investments, opportunities, new products etc

List your picks for buy and/or sell and tell us why you think so. Share some useful insights and information to keep the passive / occasional / armchair investor informed, and lets have some water cooler / coffee machine banter on the picks ! :D
 
Made a few bucks on RDF - Redefine - seems to have made some ground in the last week - up about 30% for me

THS - Tongaat Hulett Sugar seems like one to watch - looks like they are moving beyond their dark cloud with some news of some positive numbers coming through, still down on the holding but hoping for a positive run.

COH - Curro - beaten badly :crying:

Holding on a beaten SHP - Shoprite, seems like the best of a bad basket at the moment.
 
I have some mining that's been doing great.
 
Telkom is on the up again.
I'm not personally getting into it this time, but I did time last time almost perfectly.
 
Darlings:
Sasol @ R 50
MTN @ R 40
Nasdaq100 @ R72

Dogs

Redefine @ R 10 (Should be a good buy now)
Curro @ R 20 (Should be a good buy now)
Woolworth @ R 70
Murray & Roberts @ R 20 (stay away)


Things to avoid - Print media/news papers, Banks (at least short term, low fees, bad debts), commercial property (office space)
Things to invest in - Online gaming (prosus), Electric cars, Alternative energy, Video Conference (Zoom etc)

Sasol has always been a money taker from me... just have never timed it right

Wondering about India and China, India has banned certain chinese apps... wonder if this may have an effect on chinese tech
 
I think India banned tik tock.. Mobile gaming is massive in Asia (saw this first hand in Singapore and Hong Kong) and Naspers owns a 1/3 of Tencent so the future looks bright although this is a mid to long term investment
 
I wanted to say that's not too bad but then I remember that a 30c drop on R1.91 is a more than 15% fall. feelsbadman

Yeah, it really is not that bad. I only bought like R900 worth of shares so its not breaking the bank money. Just think I should have done a bit more research and waited a couple of days to see where the share price goes before buying.

I have about 4 stocks that I researched and kept my eye on. Bought 3 of them. The 4th might happen today.

But with RMH, I did not do any research and I am seeing it in the result.

Hindsight is a bitch.
