Simon Shares * Thungela (JSE code: TGA). Coal prices doing great, production is good but rail is the problem but HEPS is expected at 5800c. If we double for the full year we can expect ±R116 and a dividend of ±R100? * Stor-Age (JSE code: SSS) results are not exciting but steady. * Omnia (JSE code: OMN) results were really strong, another special dividend and good future prospects. * Orion Minerals (JSE code: ORN) raises money to get their Prieska up and running. Expected to take some 19 months. * Amazon prime coming to South Africa next year. It will seriously challenge Takealot, owned by Naspers (JSE code: NPN)). * City Lodge (JSE code: CLH) trading update show them cash flow positive with occupancies back in profit.
