The rand is weaker and oil price is soaring - why the hell is SOL dropping when it should be climbing? Anyone care to explain?

i know its not a big fall jackass, but want to know why it is not climbing. SOL is heavily reliant on oil price and rand/$ and both are in its favour so why is it not climbing

nothing will climb when the markets are selling off. fundamentals just go out the window at that point

Theo, have to agree with Asslym here. Sol is looking waay expensive. Due a pullback. Also, it tends to front-run the oil price - it prices it in on anticipation. Price goes up, then oil rises, dudes bail to take profits, selling onto honest joes who figger now's the time to get in on the rising price..
