AT LAST WOOLIES HAVE MANAGED TO RECONCILE THE DIFFICULT AUSTRALIAN MARKET AND THE SOUTH AFRICAN MARKET IS ALSO DOING WELL.

SSS STARTING price  R12.80 11 Dec 2020
I REMOVED THIS PROPERTY LOAN STOCK DURING THE WORST OF THE COVID EPIDEMIC,BUT NOW SEE A BRIGHT FUTURE FOR IT A BREXIT IS A RESOUNDING SUCCESS!  A NICHE STOCK WITH A BRIGHT FUTURE.

ALL STARTING 18 OF SEPTEMBER 2019.
UPDATE 5/8/ 2020
STARTING 
PRICE
 R0.54c  JBL     JUBILEE IS MOSTLY STILL AN EXPORATION COMPANY AND SUCH DOES NOT PAY DIVIDENDS. RAMPING UP IS HOWEVER CONTINUING APACE AND FOR THE FIRST TIME IT MOVED TO PROFIT IN 2019. ITS BASED ITS PGM METALS ON METAL RECOVERY FROM DUMPS AND ALSO HAS ONE PLAT/PALLADIUM MINE DOING WELL.
tHIS SHOULD MAKEIT A FAVOURITE WITH ECO GROUPS AS IT ALSO RETURNS WORKINGS TO THEIR NATURAL STATE. THE CHROME SECTION S ALSO STARTING TO RECOVER WITH INCREASING PRICES.

R13.54   SSS    WITH BREXIT FINALLY DONE A WONDERFUL CHOICE SUPPORTED BY MAJOR INVESTORS TO GET PARTLY INTO BRITIAN AS WELL AS SOUTH AFRICA ,WITH THIS HYBRID ADVANCED STORAGE UNIT REIT. SHOULD LEAD TO RISING STREAM  OF  INTEREST INCOME IN FUTURE.  UPDATE 15/JUNE   REMOVED DUE TO LACK OF TRADING DUE TO COVID 19

R24.51  CTK   -     18    % Smaller companies will struggle to regain footing in the present climate REMOVED FROM LIST April

R18.80  CMH  +    0     % Smaller companies are going to struggle to recover due to the covid19 pandemic unless they serve a niche area REMOVED


R25.76  QLT    +    30     %  A wealth manager which will now have the advantage of Brexit going forward. It serves about a million customers,has top rate directors and is quoted on the LSE and JSE. Coronation fund managers owns about 15% of it. One of the few entry points for locals in a better class of stock as Brexit recovers. Income is likely to rise steadily in future.


R11.39  LTE     +   0    % Too many companies competing in the samespace now REMOVED
R23.01 SUR     -    8    % FOOD ESTABLISHMENTS A NO NO AS NOT YET OPEN AND ALL ARE UNDER CAPITALISED REMOVED
R 74.74NHM   +   88  %  Has merit and in trending section ,namely mining,will pull through.

R50.80RBP     +53  % A ramping up mine,great potential

All above qualify. We look at well funded stocks with good management teams and also see how many of the best management companies mutuals,investment companies ,and 
known stock holders are starting to invest in these stocks outside the top 40 stocks.

(2019 Exciting News!  Impala is setting up a facility to produce fuel cells at one of its refineries. The first in the Southern hemisphere. This is my only pure one platinum group metal play. The world of fuel cells is beginning to explode. I feel this isthe right time to enter this area of investment as the market is still depressed and this is a great recovery play in my opinion.




R18      PPH      -  11     % Removed due to pandemic

(2019 Many trails and tribulations might still be ahead ,as it still part of the Steinhoff Group which has fallen from grace,but this was the base from which Steinhoff grew. The only really honest part and as a result of shenanigans it is now at a rediculously low price. With all suspect directors removed and many of the busnesses  profitable I think its worth the risk as a speculative BUY.)

(2019 This is a Stock which has everything going for it,it is still listed under the gold section,but has expanded into other metals and minerals such as platinum group metals and chrome,uranium ,chrome etc. It's gold sector is profitable and has helped pay for the expansion.Gold will eventually be phased out as supplies run out. It is a well managed South African enterprise spreading its wings world wide,under manager Neal  Froneman and is likely to return to profitability soon)
