Short term we should retrace back to around 13.00 but then I reckon we will see around 16.50 to 17 to USD by election time next year, as some crazy promises are made and the media over-eggs the things that are said. Then (hopefully) SA will finally get its act together and the Rand will really start performing, taking us back to around 10, or even better to the USD. Of course, if Trump bankrupts the US, and possibly even the global economy by then, all bets are off. The US is around $21-trn in debt and borrowing to pay interest, from creditors that are increasingly getting peeved about their attitude to trade. Either way I reckon I'm pretty safe in Hogsback. We got free water and off-grid power now. Dairy, meat and most fruit and veg is also sorted now. Just need a solution for fuel. Biodiesel really clogs up the filters. Someone should tell Elon Musk to make an electric bakkie!
