'If you want to take a punt and you can't make it to the casino, Steinhoff might be a better bet' - Steven Nathan

Steven Nathan joins BizNews founder Alec Hogg to talk on an array of topical investment related news with 'the great Steinhoff debate' between Bernard Mostert and Piet Viljoen taking centre stage. Rational as always, Steven looks at both arguments from an objective perspective. He also adds his thoughts on the R50m fine handed down by the FSCA to Viceroy Research, who's scathing short-sell report on Capitec in 2018 was deemed ‘false, misleading and deceptive’ by South Africa's financial market watchdog. Lastly, Steven looks it both Capitec and Steinhoff as investment propositions. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
