Sun City visit. Excellent resort, but very quiet which many commentators suggest is because it's a random weekend in June?

I sent this past weekend at Sun City, vacation club. Some thoughts.

The resort is world class, well maintained with a ton to do for kids and adults.

Buying SA Inc.

Not yet but building a watch list with the plan being to buy 10-15 stocks over the months ahead.

Why?

• Inflation comes down
• Rates decrease
• Load shedding ends (Renewable Energy Grid Survey points to 66 GW development pipeline in South Africa).
• Government finds a way out of the ICC Putin arrest warrant mess.
• Rand improves (already 100c better than the R20/US$ of last week)
• I hold ungeared positions.
