/

I was given a rude awakening on Wednesday morning when I saw a premarket news announcement come out of Sasol. I knew off the bat that this was going to be bad for my trade at the open and it was. I got stopped out for a loss on a trade that I was very positive was going to work out for yet another successful trade.

The News announcement: Sasol disbands debt-ridden BEE scheme, launches replacement

"Johannesburg - Petrochemicals giant Sasol announced on Wednesday that it will disband its black economic empowerment scheme Sasol Inzalo when it matures next year. In its place, it will launch a new broad-based black economic empowerment scheme, the R21bn Khanyisa empowerment scheme." – source Fin24/ News24
