S&P ends with 50th record-close in past 12 months as do SA indices with Top-40 +0.66% @ 43 236 , its highest closing level on record and Alsi +0.64% @ 47 819, same story.
Exxaro + 2.76% yesterday after higher full-year profit & dividend up +10% - not due to Eskom and coal disaster, but it helped sentiment I suppose.
Aspen +0.8% after reported +23% half-year profit.
By the way, no rolling blackouts for today but Eskom reserved the right to change that statement during the day. Man, yesterday 4-hours without power, previous week 5 days. Makes me think of camping, which I hate by the way.
TMI, I know.
Asia mostly green now, closing in 16 min. (Tokyo)

O well, its bound to happen sooner or later, I'm just surprised its taking so long.
Investors should be excited, its actually very good long term entry points after dust has settled.

Great. 
Maybe you should start a new topic for this one Snakepit, then members can add various company charts or indices as well?

So much happening today, it’s hard to keep track of it all.
Wall Street Cash already at -109.5 points atm (7:52am) and consider if you would, it just turned Monday morning over there. FTSE -53 points atm and gold @ 1343, that says something.
Putin authorised by law-makers to employ military, Ukraine’s military on full alert, Russia on its way to be kicked out of the G8 and US threatens Russia. We have the Oscars and Oscar, an earthquake and an erupting volcano but those seem to take a back-seat considering the bigger picture today.
In Asia this morning Nikkei -1.52% thus far, Hang Seng -0.83%, Shanghai +0.67%, Singapore -0.89%. US futures -0.57%, -0.73%.
Eco Calendar:
15:53 German PMI
11:28 GP PMI
16:00 EU Draghi
17:00 US PMI
Back home, February was SA’s biggest monthly gain for markets since July last year eding 47 328 & 42 771. New highs for Old Mutual, Mondi, Adaptit, Steinhoff, Clover, Pallinghurst & new lows for JDGroup, Tiger Brands & Tongaat.
IGM T40 -64 pips atm.
Duals:
NPS:NY -2.91%
700HK Tenc -1.77%
BHP:AU -2.55%
Edit: 9:25am
Russia's MICEX market drops -8%. Hikes rates from 5.5% to 7% as ruble plunges.
