Be careful before the Jackson Hole thing...if FED decides to taper earlier than expected, we will likely see hectic volatility in the equity markets.

either the FED does nothing and allows inflation to go crazy, or increase rates and inflation will still go crazy, both scenarios will spell lots of volatility

the FED is going to decide to do absolutely nothing it seems, whats the one quote "we are not even thinking about thinking about rising rates" or something equivalent

but thats where the money is, stackers want to see markets go up, day traders just require volatility

Shares in Steinhoff fell by nearly 40% on Monday afternoon after the Western Cape High Court ruled that it has jurisdiction to hear a liquidation bid against the retailer.

On this news


Pretty sure China is tracking me and wants revenged for something.. Buy Bitcoin, 2 days later China bans bitcoin mining. Buy Naspers couple of days later China starts regulating big tech firms, buy more Prosus China limits the amount of hours kids can game... Not sure what I should buy next, maybe some Telkom shares so China can sink them

Tencent again down over 4% in HH this morning - this is now a constant draining effect on Naspers and Prosus and their management have a lot to answer for pseudo share swaps, lucrative compensation and vote rigging NPN and PRX shares - off with their heads!

more bad news for Naspers and Prosus today

Unfortunately normal shareholders cannot hold the Naspers & Prosus board to account. The special shareholders can vote everyone else down.

Did Rhodium break its losing streak or was it a fluke? ;)

Even dead cats bounce. The entire PGM basket had a bad week. Car manufacturing getting cut around the world and rand weakness add up to lower $ prices for PGMs.
