A warm winter for 2009???

[aaronbennett]

Hi everyone im a fairly infant-to-beginner investor, but i have a point that i would like some advice on. Im currently in the middle east and its winter here, im holding tightly onto my cup of coffee, and was pondering what markets are seasonal and that we may be able to take advantage of before SA starts entering winter. I mean obviously electricity is number 1, but what other industries and sectors experience a boost in sales during winter?? All the best!!!

is there really a winter in south africa- but a lot of cough and cold companies and food sector should be the ones
