buy today. i just jumped in at 19.20 KES per share. the future is bright.
with the Stock market there is no sittting back and gauging because fundamentals change and by the time we make decision it's not viable.
just a concern, how long is your long term?

guys do you know longterm is at least 20yrs! which shares will be going strong 20 yrs to come? of course bluechips like EABL,BAT(but at the current levels you will be overpaying)

Most of the other stocks is any ones guess...they have no moat and subject to drastic change of conditions.
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.

@roger for a start Coop aint bad...its low beta also...the cooperative movemnt(strong moat) is strong in Kenya...the only draw back is the high PE but since u r going long term n new to this game u cant go wrong on Coop...

come to the stock market with that mentality, but i can assure you one year down the line you will be having different strategies for the various counters depending on your risk appetite. there are no stone-cast laws here.

Roger, I would have wished that being your first investment, that you put your money in an industrial company whose growth is in tandem with the economy. That way you will be assured of steady growth and not get stressed with large swings during the bearish markets. I would therefore suggest that you buy KPLC ex rights or KenGen

@roger why dont you buy centum. You buy into a portifolio of profitable listed and unlisted firms, property, joint ventures. Btw centum is exempt from corp tax so the shareholder keeps the 30% that would have gone to the taxman. Besides the share is fairly priced.

co-op is a great bank with great future prospects and will likely get my proceeds when i sell KCB thats if it is still under 20bob...

But if you're dealing with like 500k diversify into KK or kakuzi
