Ghost Bites (Aveng | Clientèle | Gemfields | Mr Price | Nedbank | Octodec | Sasol | SPAR)
There are no easy wins at Sasol, but there are no wins whatsoever at SPAR. Mr Price is pushing ahead with the NKD deal, while Nedbank's NCBA deal in Kenya is making progress. Aveng has many contracts to try and resolve. Gemfields is still facing market pressure in rubies. Octodec has a tricky property portfolio to run. Finally, Clientèle's numbers are complex, but trending higher.

Ghost Bites (Absa | Aveng | CA Sales | MTN | Northam Platinum | Orion Minerals | Thungela)
Absa's earnings were boosted by the credit loss ratio. MTN punters took profit on Monday, but why? Thungela's commitment to its dividend is incredible. CA Sales flagged strong earnings, Northam Platinum had a rough time with Eland and Aveng is an ugly story in Australia. Orion Minerals raised over R20 million from retail investors.
