Monday - quick note

Hello boys and girls

A busy day on Monday but one which ultimately went nowhere fast.

The primary reason for my angst was that Sasol went ex-dividend today which lopped R6 off its price - money which was quickly recovered as markets continued to rally.

Sasol eventually finished the day off 80c at R288 with the SOLSBG warrant ticking up 2c to finish at 31c.

Goldman Sachs today set a revised (downward) price target on the oil firm with a 12-month target of R403... still a handy premium to where it is now!

Gold carried on trucking up nicely and I have some small long positions open on platinum as well. If there are legs to this economic recovery then an industrial precious metal like platinum could benefit at present levels.

Anyway tomorrow is another day - happy trading!
