SA small caps

I see that there has been quite a lot of talk about South African small caps in recent weeks. Probably because the market has been so kak that people have nothing better to talk about.

With that in mind, I thought it would be fun to look at some of the small-caps which appear on my screen and see whether other traders agree?

Beige Holdings
I have been tipping this one for ages and so far it has gone nowhere fast. This should in theory be an easy stock to double your money on, but geez I have been saying that for how long and I'm still waiting.

ISA
This is a good stock in a growth industry. Cash generative, no debt and it actually pays a dividend - a rarity in the IT sector. Internet and IT security is going to continue to be a key industry going forward. ASk anybody who has had their home or work PC or mobile device crippled by a computer virus and you will appreciate why a business like this has so much to offer and will consistently be able to achieve ongoing annuity income.

Interwaste
I walked to the shops this morning and was aware of all the uncollected rubbish on the pavement from last weeks municipal strike. Its unpleasant to live in a decent neighbourhood and be surrounded by flies and rotting waste and there is not a hell of a lot that you as the ordinary consumer can do about it.Now imagine how much waste is being generated by businesses and more importantly how much it costs to deal with that waste. This share hasn't exactly covered itself in glory since being listed, but its a good industry to be in with very high barriers to entry.

Buildmax
I was actually checking up on my Brait shares and I was reminded that the Brait guys paid R1.50 a share for Buildmax. Now its trading around 50c a share. I still think it is a good story for those with a longer-term appetite.

Anybody got any better suggestions?
