Sasol Limited - Expected Earnings Per Share for the Financial Year Ending 30 June 2009 to Decrease by Between 40% and 50% Compared to the Prior Year SSL

62%

+15.39% in 155 days <font> <font>    Friday, June 19, 2009 6:08:00 AM ET </font> </font> <font> Introduction </font> <> <font> At the announcement of our interim results on 9 March 2009, we expected a reduction in earnings for the full 2009 financial year compared to the 2008 financial year. It was clear at that stage that the considerably lower prices would far outweigh the positive effects of production volume increases and the crude oil hedge. At the time the volatility and uncertainty of global markets made it difficult to be more precise in this interim results outlook statement. </fo... Continue reading »

+2.72% in 8 days (closed on 10/20/08) The Panic Trade: A 20-Stock Defensive Growth Portfolio <> The accompanying table presents a 20-stock defensive growth portfolio which I believe will outperform the overall market as measured by the S&P 500 Index as the current panic trade comes to an end and investors stop selling stocks regardless of their fundamentals. The average PEG ratio for this group of stocks is below one and the average dividend yield of 4.4% is nearly two times the S&P 500 ETF (SPY) yield of 2.4%.

INVEST IN SOUTH AFRICA SSL

5 %

-12.86% in 792 days Second only to China, South Africa offers the best opportunity to come out ahead of the game.  The reasons, of course are various, but I propose that SA is closer linked to Chinese growth than any other part of the world; at least in the short-term.  Too bad we here in the US have only limited access to South African public companies.  I wish we had SABMiller; but, hey. SSL and AAUK (DeBeers), AU, GG, HMY are excellent players. Continue reading »

Peak Oil: China vs. USA

Anyone catch Steven Kopits’ article in Barron’s this weekend titled “A Global Portrait of Peak Oil”? In it, Kopits echoes thoughts I have written recently on how badly the US is being outmaneuvered by China with respect to energy policy. While US politicians and policymakers continue to hold meetings in Washington, DC in an attempt to solve a commodity problem (oil) with financial tom-foolery (it simply will not work), let’s look at what China has been up to: <><>China lent Petrobras (PBR) $10 billion to fund the company’s offshore exploration<><><><><><><>< /><><><><><>< /><><><>< /><><><>< /><><><>< /><><><><><><><>< /><><><><><><><><>< /><><><><>< /><><>< /><>< /><><><>< /><><><>< /><><><>< /><><><>< /><><><>< /><><><><><><><><><><><><>< /><><><><><><>< /><><><><><><><><>< /><><><>< /><><><><><><>< /><><><><>< /><><><>< /><><><>< /><><><>...
