Fantasy Fund is built on six specific sectors, and Ann looked at which sectors may offer value. She also offered some tips on which stocks may be offering value in the financial services, resources and tech space, spoiler alert, it's not gold. Ann's investment tip for the week was ‘try not to be emotional when making your selections’. David also reveals a market tip after picking Shaftesbury as his Rand hedge this week.
