Kazi ya kujistress with prices imeisha. Fortunately am young,if i was in my old age how would i explain a 40% loss. But on a positive note i guess patience is the key to investing in the stock mrkt and more so informatn is as important as the amount you wish to invest. Listen to sk mem they av savd me many tims

One of the greatest lesson I have learned is to train yourself to study the market and macro economics...When the market is hot sell of some of your holding and diversify...when it goes down great opportunity may present...I learned greed can at times work at your disadvantage,I watched my portfolio dropped from 50% gain to 30% loss....at least know I understand what is meant by investing without emotional attachment.

A penny SAVED is a penny wasted if not INVESTED.

One good lesson.... Investment is long term..i.e 8yrs +; so need not worry much.. 4yrs to go!

wish is yesterday,hope is tomorrow.. today we make or break!

ARTICLE BELOW RE-ECHOED FOR POSTERITY AND TO SHARE MY EXPERIENCE ON THE BEST APPROACH TO CHRONIC BEAR MARKET !!!



FOR THOSE THAT CARED TO LISTEN SINCE OCT 12 THAT I POSTED THIS INFO AND BECOME MORE CAREFUL IN HOLDING THEIR CASH AND WATCHING THE MARKET I BELIEVE THEY ARE LUCKY.

I WILL STATE AGAIN AND AGAIN THAT THERE IS A TECHNIQUE OF HANDLING BEAR MARKET AND ALSO MAKING A FAIR ESTIMATE OF HOW LOW A COUNTER WILL GO. MANY OF US HERE HAVE NOT MANAGED BEARISHNESS BEFORE.

THE STORY OF SPREAD BUY,OR BUY BUY BUY BUY IN BEAR MARKET IS NOT THE BEST BECAUSE YOU CANNOT HAVE MONEY ALL THE TIME,OUR BROKERS ARE INEFFICIENT SO EVEYTHING WILL BE MUDDLED UP CONTINUAND YOU CANNOT CONTINUEE TO BUY INDEFINITELY. IF YOU BUY EQUITY AT SAY 300,IT IS NOT WISE TO BUY AT 280,270,240,220,200,170,160 TILL KINGDOM COME ??? THERE IS A BETTER TECHNIQUE.

IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO LISTEN TO STUPID YOUNG,READ BOOKS AND GET FACTS ON INVESTING IN BEARISH MARKET DO NOT BASE YOUR JUDGEMENT ON HEARSAY AND POPULAR OPINION.

AS USUAL I HOPE SK COLLEAGUES WILL NOT MAKE TOO MUCH MISTAKES AND INCURE MUCH MORE LOSSES IN THE POPULAR SPREAD BUY AND BUY BUY BUY THEORY.

I AM JUST A LONELY VOICE. UP TO YOU TO DECIDE. I WRITE THIS BECAUSE I PRAY FOR SOMETHING GOOD FOR BELOVED KENYANS AND OTHER PARTICIPANTS IN NSE (NAIROBI).

IT IS BETTER TO LEARN BY INFO THAN TO LEARN BY EXPERIENCE. NOBODY CAN BUY EXPERIENCE. IT IS BEST TO KNOW HOW TO OPERATE IN ALL MARKET CONDITIONS.
