#6MonthsRiskChallenge – Invest and win by December 2022

In the first half of 2022, amid the volatile environment, investors from different walks of life embarked on the #6MonthsRiskChallenge where they invested from as little as R100 per month in companies trading below R5 and $5. The challenge ran for six months, during which time the participants stood to win R5 000 in EasyEquities vouchers.

After focusing on South African companies last year we switched our focus to Australian listed companies trading below $5. Some of the companies that performed well from the market, resulting in a return on investment (ROI) of over 10% in 6 months (from 1 February – 29 July 2022) are:

New Hope Corporation Limited @ $4.39 per share  👉 +87%

Arafura Resources Limited @ $0.35 per share 👉  +75%

Sayona Mining Limited @ $0.19 per share 👉  +50%

Core Lithium @ $1.15 per share 👉  + 47%

Capricorn Metals Ltd @ $3.90 per share 👉 +20%

Companies trading below R5 or $5 are usually considered penny stocks; these companies may come with high risk and reward; and prepare one mentally for moments such as the bear market – do you think you’re ready?

What is the #6MonthsRiskChallenge?

With this challenge, investors spend wisely and save to ensure consistency in their monthly investments, while getting to explore the volatile environment by investing R100 or more per month in companies selling their shares for less than R5/$5 per share.
