If you had say R20000 to invest somewhere on a monthly basis, what would you do with it?

Buy 2 litre cokes and plastic cups. Go to every MTB race and sell cups of coke for R5 each.

You will be guaranteed to double your money as fast as you can sell the coke. No other investment will give you anything close to that type of return.

Good one, probably better than going to the casino or playing forex

The retro spectroscope always the clever one.

Anglo American (AGL) went up from R63/share to R151 today

Same kinda story for Kumba (KIO)

Lonmin (LON) could be had for R10/share in Feb. Now R38/share.

Lots of volatility. Like Angelina Jolie

The above type of shares for aggressive type investing. Win big loose big.

 

Then there are the more stable shares. Defensive.

Stuff like Reinet (REI), SAB Miller (SAB), Mediclinic (MEI). And of course British American Tobacco. Stuff people use every day.  Shoprite, Woolies. Now sudden growth spurts. More gradual. Like your mother (well, kind of) But even they can fall.

 

One of the shares I have been watching for a while now is Sasol. This one is supposed to be one of those long term buys. Kind of defensive. That is until the Brent oil price starts to rise. And that it is at the moment. $45/ barrel. The Middle east countries can only keep up overproduction for so long... When will it turn upside down? Who knows.

 

Everybody knows America is selling shale gas at the moment. But it is not as profitable as 'good' old crude.

 

Crude oil products are used on a daily base. Everywhere and for everything. What a disaster for South African motorists if the crude oil price hits $120/barrel! Unless you have Sasol shares of course...

I'm looking for stocks or funds that have a bias towards sustainability and green tech. Anyone done any research in this regard?

 

Efora is lekker low at the moment.

 

Exonn Mobil on Nasdaq just took a firm stance for green energy and sustainability, but I think it is a bit late to investigate that option.

 

My bad opinion: Sustainability and green tech is not yet high on the priority list of South African shareholders.
