Could be because hedge funds started buying into private care according to Bloomberg http://www.iol.co.za/business/companies/hedge-fund-buys-into-private-care-1.1698208#.U48IunKSx8E or that Investec raised target price to R342 from 322, rating it as a ‘buy’.

Another thing happening is that GlaxoSmithKline UK invited private equity to bid for older drugs a few days ago.   Last year they sold thrombosis meds to Aspen for £700 mil. 

Could be anyone of those or none at all. :P

Daar het jy dit nou. Goeie genade.  ???  :)

ECB President Mario Draghi reduced the deposit rate to minus 0.10 percent from zero, making the institution the world’s first major central bank to use a negative rate. Policy makers also lowered the benchmark rate to 0.15 percent from 0.25 percent. Draghi will hold a press conference at 2:30 p.m. in Frankfurt.
