Watch List

1)JSE CODE:NHM 5050 1.00%

SECTOR: Platinum & Precious Metals

Comment: Still trading way to close to its high of 5300. Will watch it for this week but am growing tiered of it.

2)JSE CODE:SOL 23199 0.52%

SECTOR: Integrated Oil & Gas

Comment: It traded up above 23100 so we are only 100 away from my target after trading below 23000 for most of the day. I still feel bearish about it but I am waiting for the bounce due to there results.

Tomorrow

It seems that our market is taking its lead from international markets so we have to keep an eye on what happens in the states tonight. Having said that I am getting my money ready to buy.
