Ghost Bites (ADvTECH | Clientele | Fairvest | Harmony | Hulamin | Italtile | Momentum | Sasol)

Fairvest's capital raise is a sign of frothiness creeping back into the property sector. ADvTECH, Clientele and Momentum released excellent numbers. Sasol's debt reduction and free cash flow got the market excited. Harmony didn't capitalise on gold price opportunities. Italtile posted resilient numbers, while Hulamin's performance was poor.

Ghost Bites (Aspen | Blue Label | Curro | Exxaro | Octodec | Spur | WBHO)

There's no sign of recovery in the Aspen share price. Conversely, Blue Label just keeps aiming for the stars. Exxaro, Spur, Octodec and WBHO all had positive stories. Curro is suffering with a slow and steady decline in numbers.
