Cristal Challenge 2025 New leader - Freddie Du Plessis. Cashed-in Renergen at +220% vs current +163%. Craig in 2nd place did better cashing in at the top +231%. Look where the “Goldies” are. Creeping back into contention. In 5th place. Not over by a long stretch.
[COMING UP] On @SAfmRadio #MarketUpdate tonight with @jmoyaha_ 🎙️#MarketWatcher with @Sasfin 🎙️ Results out of Woolworths and Aspen 🎙️ Beware of unwanted debt relief offers Tune in to listen from 6 to 7pm rb.gy/aifwmb
Anglos selling its remaining 19.9.% of Valterra - approx 52.2m shares. Should raise around R48bn. Management see share price gain as an opportunity to sell out.
Cristal Challenge 2025 Changes at the top. Renergen & Blue Label’s fall and platinums gains changing top order. Njabulo Ziqubu leading 80.44 Freddie Du Plessis 79.79 Craig Gradidge 79.47 Deon Van Vuuren 76.97 Yashvir Jithoo 70.38
Cristal Challenge 2025 7 months down, 2 to go. Renergen’s fall and Blue Label’s plunge putting pressure on Deon whose lead cut to 0.39%. Craig cashed-in Renergen at the top. A run in plats and gold shares can change everything. The goldies now in 13th position.
For however long it lasts, in terms of market value, Capitec is the largest bank on the JSE at R424bn. FirstRand follows at R420bn. Then comes Standard at R406bn. ABSA’s at R169bn, Investec combined R128bn (may be double counting) and then Nedbank at R109bn.
Cristal Challenge 2025 We’re in the final stretch. Deon holding on. Blue Label giving him the edge over Craig Freddie and Samuel who cashed-in their Renergen at higher levels. The Goldies creeping higher. Their second coming. In 20th position.
Forget which was the better team. Man U lost because Arsenal put the ball in the back of the net and Man U didn’t.
Cristal Challenge 2025 The leaders just keep getting stronger. Renergen Renergen Renergen.
Cristal Challenge 2025 Had to scrap the idea of a gold Cristal sports car. But “My Broadband” have once again been magnanimous and donated super prizes. iPads and tablets. Wonderful people. Meantime the Goldies are making a comeback thanks to the Don. There in 23rd position.
Cristal Challenge 2025 Thinking of making this next year’s prize.😎
Cristal Challenge 2025 Another week goes by, but despite volatility in the markets the leaderboard is unchanged. Still anything can happen in the next three months. Renergen and Blue Label not budging.
Also what is very weird about two of the articles we have today is that they both mention, completely independently, Loucas Pouroulis' Lefkochrysos platinum listing back in the 80's. @davidshap4711 enjoyed the party and @AsiefMohamed got horribly burnt buying in.
There are lipsmacking reads on Currency today! @davidshap4711 on nostalgia and markets, @TimCohenKaroo on how his ill-advised challenge to the Pretoria Boys' school bully reminds him of our tariff battle, analysts on why Blue Label is worth a LOT more, and @AsiefMohamed on his…
Cristal Challenge 2025. Next week already August. 3 months to go. Can’t believe how the year has flown. Looks like it’s Renergen, Blue Label and Sibanye into the home straight. And then come the rest.
Cristal Challenge 2025 These gains are superb. Gap closing at the top with Sibanye running hard. These are the stocks that have scored a century: Renergen +218% Blue Label +137% Finbond +130% Sibanye +127% Choppies +111% Southern Palladium +106%
Cristal Challenge 2025 The gap is closing at the top. Thanks to platinum stocks. Sibanye the big one. Still Renergen and Blue Label the anchors. I’m so embarrassed. I’m at 432 (out of 442) bitten by Bytes and Copper360. My wife is up at 173 and my son Graham at 34. 🥸
Nvidia touches $4tr. Trading at $164 after falling to around $96 after Liberation Day.
Cristal Challenge 2025 Deon holding on carried by Renergen & Blue Label with good support from AB InBev & enX. Sasol a bit of a drag. Platinums now making a bigger splash than golds. The gold trio in 55th position.
Cristal Challenge 2025 5 months down - 4 to go Deon holding his lead. Top 6 anchored by Renergen. Sasol’s plunge hurt. The gold triplets who led for so long fallen back to 97 - still up 24% The Anchor six are doing a bit better. They’re in 40th even with Renergen
