Devaluation of Rand

I take it that the recent fall here is due to the current devaluation of the rand? Is there anything else going on here that somebody is aware of??

I think it's across the board, in general - see EOH as well

Also got rid of Eli a while ago...after their last financial results and subsequent comments by management (blaming the government...) I've lost confidence in them and decided to sell....glad I've acted

Most stock is imported, so weak rand not good for business. Still, remains a good performer so when the cycle turns she will fly. In no way comparable to eli.

I'm gonna hold...seen this before. Always comes out stronger after something like this. They have weathered the storm well previously. Management is good..Besides their deal with Datacentrics is still to add value to their bottom line..

I agree with your sentiments of ELI and sold my share for the same reason, thank goodness some time ago.

They risk canabilising their own market, because they supply product to the Datacentrix's of this world. If they buy Datacentrix, they risk p*ssing their other customers off.. Just saying that the Datacentrix potential deal is not risk-free.
