Asian shares and U.S. stock futures slipped in early trade this morning, as Amazon and Apple quarterly earnings bucked a recent strong trend and growth and inflation fears continued to weigh. Investors, particularly in bond and currency markets, are also worried about varied responses by central banks worldwide to rising inflation. At least Mineral resources & energy minister Gwede Mantashe announced 25 new renewable energy projects that will deliver wind and solar energy at record low prices for SA. So the question must be asked, if it's cheap now, and it can be brought on stream much, much quicker than new coal, gas or nuclear, why don't we revisit the IRP and raise procurement allocations of RE urgently? To put things into perspective Michael Avery is joined by Nesan Nair, senior portfolio manager at Sasfin; Raymond Parsons, professor in the School of Business and Governance at Northwest University and Isaah Mhlanga, Chief Economist at Alex Forbes

From a huge leak of documents showing how countries are trying to change a crucial scientific report on how to tackle climate change. The leak reveals Saudi Arabia, Japan and Australia are among countries asking the UN to play down the need to move rapidly away from fossil fuels. It also shows some wealthy nations are questioning paying more to poorer states to move to greener technologies. This ""lobbying"" raises questions for the COP26 climate summit in November. Especially in light of the concern raised by the Presidential Climate Commission in conditionalities attached to concessional funding following the meeting with the climate envoys recently. To put things into perspective Michael Avery is joined by Nesan Nair, senior portfolio manager at Sasfin; Raymond Parsons, professor in the School of Business and Governance at Northwest University & Richard Calland, associate professor in public law at the University of Cape Town and a founding partner of the Paternoster Group.

"This week energy chickens have come home to roost as the trade-offs of transitioning to a greener economy were laid bare in the way various energy markets reacted. It's nearly half a century since the Organisation of the Petroleum Exporting Countries imposed an oil embargo on America, turning a modest inflation problem into a protracted bout of soaring prices and economic misery. But the stagflation of the 1970s is back on economists' minds today, as they confront strengthening inflation and disappointing economic activity. The voices warning of unsettling echoes with the past are influential ones, including Larry Summers and Kenneth Rogoff of Harvard University and Mohamed El-Erian of Cambridge University and previously of PIMCO, a bond-fund manager. To put things into perspective Michael Avery is joined by Nesan Nair, senior portfolio manager at Sasfin Securities; Raymond Parsons, professor in the School of Business and Governance at Northwest University & Dr Miriam Altman, Director of Altman Advisory, Professor of 4IR Practice at the University of Johannesburg"

Drikus Combrinck from Capicraft chose Farmland Partner Pref Shares as his stock pick of the day and Nesan Nair from Sasfin Securities chose Anglo American. Combrinck said: "We've positioned ourselves in some floating rate corporate jets in the us, so when rates do go up you get more yield. The fixed yields are absolutely too low and one that we've picked up is called Farmland Partners. It's the preference share and farmland partners is yielding about 6% percent at the moment." Nair said: "I'm going to be a little bit more conventional and a little bit more traditional. I agree with the view on the Anglo-American play and I think Anglo American with that R200 dividend from Amplats and now you're R70 dividend from Kumba, Anglo American is going to be sitting with tons and tons of cash, not quite sure how they are going to deploy it but right now I think Anglo American is looking very cheap at current spot metal prices."

Meryl Pick from Old Mutual Investments chose Sibanye Stillwater as her pick of the day and Nesan Nair from Sasfin Securities chose Bidvest. Pick said: "The PGM stocks have all pulled back over the last quarter, and one that I find intriguing is Sibanye Stillwater. I've been quite critical in the past of the Stillwater deal and they've proved me completely wrong. Maybe the rest of the market is very skeptical and hence it's lagged but if you look on spot PGM and gold prices, it's sitting at a 29 free cash flow yield for the next set of financials. And you get a good mix of commodities and optionality." Nair said: "I'm going with Bidvest, I think it's been flying under the radar for quite a long time now. I do see a South Africa post covid-19 and I think the big industrials, particularly Bidvest are very well geared up because of the amount of cash that they have on their balance sheet to take advantage of the opportunities that are inevitably going to come their way."
Zwelakhe Mnguni from Benguela Global Fund Managers and Nesan Nair from Sasfin Securities both chose Sanlam as their stock pick of the day. Mnguni said: "I'm going to with Sanlam, I think it has recovered nicely from a bad patch. They've been extremely prudent with their provisioning and historically and they don't need to put any additional provisions in place in terms of Covid-19. They put on in place and that was it, and this is symbolic of how the business has been run historically." Nair said: "My pick is also Sanlam for a lot of the reasons that Zwelakhe mentioned and in addition they recently did the purchase of Saham in the rest of Africa and I think that was quite a fortuitous deal."

Alex Duys from Umthombo Wealth chose Growthpoint as his stock pick of the day and Nesan Nair from Sasfin Securities chose PPC. Duys said: " Growthpoint is one of the ones that has optionality and one of those of course is selling assets, paying out debt which will mean that you could get, theoretically, a relatively lower risk investment here with a high upside." Nair said: "I'm going with PPC, I don't think you can ignore the huge rally in the share price that we've seen and then with Cashbuild's results today as well, people are spending a lot of money on home improvement and they must be buying the cement from somewhere. So I suppose you one has to take the likes of PPC, ArcelorMittal at some point in time, as shares that are offering value."
Nesan Nair from Sasfin Securities chose Coronation as his stock pick of the day. "I'm going with Coronation, trying to buy some of these financials that have been pulled back a little bit. Hopefully we'll know whether it's the right call in the next few weeks"
