with respect .. a completely random and useless question .. if you give us reasons we can debate them, but just should I buy or sell means nothing ..

more importantly .. if you have to come to the chat forum to seek affirmation - you don't trust your system and shouldn't be trading it ..

I agree. To short Kumba was the wrong, if it breaks above R 380 it can go higher. Also remember Kumba is currently cum div of R 13.50 and goes ex div next Friday, so the price will fall because of the div, but div are accounted for in SSF's (if you sold SSF's to short)already so you will not gain from it.
