why would you short BIL? It's soaring at the moment.. could hardly be more bullish. Was it really the weakest share you could find on the index?

Reminds me of the time I went skiing in Aspen. All the down that glorious and silky smooth mountain, I didnt waste any time enjoying the view or my skiing... I spent it planning and thinking of my trip back up to the summit by cable-car.

Antsy... I am not sure if you are aware of BIL buy back programme. They are going to be buying R70 billion rands worth of their own stock that represents about half a years trade on the JSE so dont expect any radical down side on this one in the near future, I would like to suggest that you view any weakness as a great entry point into a long trade instead.
