Paul’s Personal (High-Risk) Portfolio
We’re pumping!
After a shaky Q1 with negative returns, Q2 & Q3 has delivered a solid rebound. Top picks for the quarter include Northam Platinum, and Pan African Resources, and Blue Label Telecoms.
On the crypto side, the market continues to lag despite significant infrastructure developments. Investors remain split: will we see a massive rally into a blow-off top, or has the cycle already peaked with a bear market ahead? My bet is that we’re still in for some upside before the cycle ends. Time will tell.

Prices as at 30 June, 2025. Disclaimer: This is not financial advice.
