not patient enough dude. I bought small quantities of FSR, WHL, SAB & MSM turbos in the mean time but stayed mostly in cash for the events like this.

The trouble with Rand hedge shares is that they have the majority investors overseas ,than in the past,so they are subject to the woes of their markets.How ever just look at the $ price of gold(over $7 per ounce)and the weakening Rand to see we are sitting in the pound seats and the same with other resources"vasbt"

I was short, as oscillators were overbought anyway.These sharp rallies are indicative of a bear market, a bull climbs slowly ,step by step.I see a nasty low around 10 October, as per my mathematical methods...will update later.
