Thinking before acting!

 We in South Africa have many problems,especially of a racial nature,waiting to boil over. Only by extremely good sense do we prevent this happening from every group,not only on a colour basis as we have nine different indigenous basic African tribes that not always on good terms with each other! 

Therefore  we should not take sides in the conflict of other nations declaring our support for one of the protagonists! This is what we have done when the ANC which is the main majority party in our government by fully supporting the structure of Gaza with the terrorist organisation Hamas ruling that territory.

We are a small nation which to take note of the saying "Fools rush in where Angels fear to tread !" At the moment we are on a knife edge what with major war looming ,which might break out at any moment.

The major position taken by our government  is one of neutrality which is in dangerof breaking down,what with obvious support for Russia,China,Iran and other rogue states. At the same time we wish the capitalist world to invest in our economy,which they are now beginning to withdraw from! 

Do remember that about eighty percent of our trade is with Western Democratic nations . If our rulers hold other veiws they should keep it to themselves as their  first priority is to find work and a reasonable standard of living for all the peoples of South Africa. Viva!

New sanctions against Russia

 The new and existing sanctions against Russian natural resources is going to have a good effect upon  countries producing commodities. 

South Africa is the major supplier of platium group metals and a smaller supplier of diamonds.

The above ground stockpiles of excess PGMs is likely to be exhausted in the next six months so the price of platinum that has languished after falling back will shoot up then. All PGMs prices are likely to stay higher for a longer period.

Uncut diamonds prices are likely to increase less as it is easy to avoid sanctions by Russia. South Africa  developed the Kimberley process so that diamonds origin could be traced so as to avoid profits from countries at war receiving funds from this source.

1.Illegal Immigration Ruses.......2 The State of worldMarkets and how to possibly profit!

 I.. There are some disoncerting rumours out there at the moment. There seems to be a grain of truth to some,such as the large amountof people heading for the southern border of the USA are being encouraged by a  organised by a shadowy organisation! This and weak laws to help these individuals can evemtually weaken the USA. 

In Europe there organisations some with government help such Germany that are encouraging these indivduals to try their luck.This whole situation is then encouraged by the religious leaders, not for alturistic reasons but because their base of believers is growing the fastest in Africa and obviously they hope this will fill their coffers as their own European base wanes! 

All this is very disturbing as  the various countries taxpayers have to pay heavily for these illegals at their expense!

2.The JSE as well as other stock exchanges have have gained very little in capital gain over the last five years on the major stocks. With inflation running rampant the measly gains could be said to be treading water! If how ever there is a settlement of the war in Ukraine and China cuts back on agression threatening invasions of Taiwan and other territorry of the Phillipines ,etc. then with a firmer good future shares would surge and especially our metals and minerals.

War's effects !

A troubling time  for the world indeed !

The fact that gold has finally  shot up shows that there is a great deal now about the path ahead for business and commerce in general.

The main worry is that there might be a prolonged war in the Ukraine Russia saga! A lesser worry is that more lethal equipment is being used and might go as far a nuclear bombs in which case many red lines would be crossed causing a major irreversable crises!

We in South Africa are facing our own crises due mostly due to our inept politicians.

This coming month i.e. August the BRICS Group meet here in South Africa as they are far left leaning in ideas! 

Rumours are flying that they want to go back onto the gold standard of sorts. We all hope this is not true as Russia and China are trying to under cut the American Dollar as the worlds leading currency. If we go along with this idea we must remember how we suffered when we were one of the last countries to dump the gold standard some where around the nineteen thirties!

Marking Time!

 South African stocks are on a slow decline at the moment ,as they have been for the last five months.

The reason of course is our government dithering over which side to take in the Ukraine war. Our major trading partners are in the capitalist west.Russia wich has clevery given South Afrrica a place with other gaint socialist countries because of our consideable mineral wealth.

Russia helped the present government with murderous arms in their so called freedom struggle. The white government gave over because of pressure from the capitalist west. None of this now counts as we are slowly edging towards a one-party state!

At the moment the AGOA agreement is in jeopardy ,which allows us to export over a hundred items to the USA with out duties. Russia and China just want our minerals and have scant regard for rules and regulations. This the trade union movement will find out to their detriment if the Brics nations win this struggle. They contribute nothing to our well-being at this sage. See the right hand side column for the latest updates.
