KIRTI, in relation to E.A Cables, I leave you with this quote. ''Should you find yourself in a chronically leaking boat, energy devoted to changing vessels is likely to be more productive than energy devoted to patching leaks.'' Cables imelewa. Buy a company with an almost guaranteed period of growth for the next five years. You won't be dissapointed.

KQ is the only sucker I have left, I will take the divindeds, sell and won't look back.
Time is money, so money is time. Money saved is time gained in reverse! Money stores your life’s energy. You expend your energy, get paid money, and store that money for a future purchase made in a currency.

Learn to sell at a loss...hope and optimism works everywhere except the stockmarket.
The utimate goal of investing is to buy low sell high;if we re-write this core equation in psychology terms it becomes buy fear sell greed.

KQ, Mumias and kenya re have been my stress factor this year but i never held on to any of them as i might end up being trapped in losses for two years...

To maximize returns on the NSE one needs to stop being married to stocks especially after negative news

I think scom is the most disappointing as for Total, I just don't get what's up with this counter because it's fundamentally sound in my view.


I want to answer these question coz I have seen more than two people complaining about company they percive to be sound and well managed like KQ, Safaricom and others, but still record low share returns. The answer lies on a less geeky fact, growth company and growth stock are two different things. Having said so, a growth company can record a declining stock/ share return because of one or two reasons, 1) The market has overvalue the stocks. Most of the pretigious and highly branded and better managed companies are generally overvalued by the market, thats why their stock often do not gain or trade within a profitable range. Question answered!

KQ, mumias and especailly KQ, this share is teaching me to be patient. they say u make ur profit when u buy, and i guess thats why. Im so lethargic to average down unless i look at it as a new investment decision, coz fact that they are down means i got it wrong,coz no one buys expecting price to drop, expect short selling.

mlennyma, Are u sure about standard group its been rising from 30's to now 48.

What seperate a good trader and a dummy trade, is the ability to disangage their feelings to their thinking this solve the common problem among dummy traders, holding on to the losing trade longer than they should and selling the winng trades earlir that they should, being patient is not enough, being patient when you need to be patient is what is important, Remember for every money tied to a specific stock, there is an opportunity cost to it!

KQ may be a gem stock at the current price, but those who got in at post 100 bob per share they burnt their fingers that's no secret.
