Nesi Chetty from Stanlib chose Equites as his stock pick of the day.

"In a market that is so volatile and uncertain we still be sticking with a company that's defensive and are offering very good quality to the cycle. Equities property fund is a specialist fund, it develops, owns and acquires best-in-class logistics assets. Going into the into the pandemic they had a very strong balance sheet, holding about a billion in cash and I think if you take out the noise in the market and you look at the long-term secular driver, demand drivers - for things like logistics,e-commerce, rising inventory levels and manufacturing increasing this is a company that through the cycle will tend to do well."

Nolwandle Mthombeni from Mergence Investment Managers chose Shoprite as her stock pick of the day.

"I am choosing Shoprite, if you look at the performance of Shoprite compared to the market, there's a complete lag. This is not in line with the fundamentals where Shoprite is one of the few stocks that have been able to continue to trade since the lockdown started. The last time we received data from Shoprite was in February so the next phase will show they've done much better than the market in the last few months."

Robert Towell from Sasfin Securities talks to Business Day TV about his stock pick of the day.

"Due to Covid-19 and the spread of the virus Microsoft is continuing to do well as more and more people are working from home. Microsoft has done very well over the last few months, if the market does pullback and you add Microsoft to your portfolio as that cloud computing stock carries on growing and starts to bring in revenue even during the Covid crisis."

Nick Kunze from Sanlam Private Wealth chose Multichoice as his stock pick of the day.

"We took a look at Multichoice, they came out with results last week really and had a good set of numbers. They also paid a dividend which is a rarity in this environment right now. More encouragingly, people who are being concerned about how they would be taking on the streaming players, well they're not taking them on they're joining them and signed quite a unique deal between Amazon Prime and Netflix to jump on their platform and using their content. So, we like Multichoice at current levels."

Independent Analyst Chris Gilmour chose Afrimat as his stock pick of the day and David Shapiro from Sasfin Securities chose SA bonds.

Gilmour said: "I actually do have a stock pick after weeks of sitting on my hands and saying one should sit on cash, I'm going for Afrimat. I think the stock is terribly underrated, obviously an awful lot depends on the iron ore price, and iron ore is playing the game. But you haven't seen it as yet in the figure for Afrimat particularly when it comes to the fall in the value of the rand. As long as iron ore stays at, or around these levels, the current price is well over a $100 and the demand is there from China particularly, it's a great little operation and I think it will come through nicely."

Shapiro said: "It depends on your tax position but if you can go into some of SA's long end bonds, meaning ten years plus and get 10%-11% yield in an environment where inflation is coming down, in an environment where in the rest of the world yields are zero or at best you can get 1/2% on a ten-year bond in America, or 1/4% in the UK, SA bonds look very attractive. As long as you rand based and living off rands, SA bonds look very attractive for savings."

Steven Schultz from Momentum chose Anglogold as his stock pick of the day.

"I'm going to stick with my conviction and my scepticism on the market and elect for Anglogold. Markets have clearly gotten ahead of themselves even if they don't want to admit it. I think the SA rand strength that we've seen over the last eight trading days and as well as a little bit of a softer US dollar gold price is creating a nice entry point. I think Anglogold is probably the stock pick of the gold mining sector. It currently trades at about R412 and our internal target price is around R550 so some decent upside. And, even if I'm horribly wrong and the world is a rosy place and expect monstrous inflation coming through in the next couple of months in which case gold is again a useful asset."
