SA's top money manager says it's time to buy resources shares, many other JSE-listed stocks are also "very cheap"

Loading player...
JSE-listed mining shares have taken an awful hiding since March, with a number having lost as much as half their value. But that's a buy signal for South Africa's top performing money manager, Piet Viljoen, who manages the Counterpoint Value Fund. In this podcast with Alec Hogg of Biznews, Viljoen unpacks the appeal of a number of South African stocks, from the obvious (coal) to the exciting rebounds (Absa, FirstRand, Sanlam). Viljoen is a favourite among the BizNews community and at next month's event becomes the only speaker to deliver a keynote address at all of the BizNews Conferences at the Champagne Sports Resort in the Drakensberg.
