Ghost Bites (Burstone | Gemfields | Grand Parade | Remgro)
Remgro's NAV grew solidly this year and they insist on a special dividend instead of more buybacks. Burstone's platform strategy is growing, but perhaps not quickly enough. Gemfields needs things to improve rather urgently. Grand Parade's casino exposure is problematic.

Ghost Bites (Adcock Ingram | AECI | Karooooo | Mr Price | MultiChoice | Northam Platinum | Santam | Spear REIT | Vodacom)
The take-private bid for Adcock Ingram is juicy to say the least. Mr Price had a tough June but a resilient quarter overall. MultiChoice got the green light for the Canal+ deal. AECI, Karooooo, Northam Platinum and Vodacom released financial updates. Santam is growing offshore, while Spear REIT sticks to the Western Cape.

Ghost Bites (Accelerate Property Fund | Assura – Primary Health Properties | Castleview | Jubilee Metals | MAS – Hyprop | Reinet | Sibanye-Stillwater...
The MAS situation is really heating up now, with the board giving strong views on the Hyprop offer. The Assura - Primary Health offer is going nowhere fast. Castleview has glaring capital raising inconsistencies. Sibanye announced an acquisition in the US. Accelerate's related party headaches continue. Jubilee Metals, Reinet and South32 released numbers.

Ghost Bites (BHP | Hyprop – MAS | Quantum Foods | Valterra Platinum | Vodacom – Remgro)
Hyprop has put in a conditional offer to MAS shareholders. Vodacom and Remgro tweaked the terms of the fibre deal. BHP's production is strong, but iron ore prices are weak. Valterra Platinum's production ruined the first half numbers. Quantum Foods has had some shareholder register developments.
