Is a green monday a signal of a +ve week?the rains have started pounding many parts including ukambani,.some corporate announcements expected..any excitement?

Some greens might have been envisaged, but the volumes are not any encouraging. Getting into the counters is becoming more and more difficult. It's time to start piling.

i'm thinking along those lines, this is likely the bear period, and 2012 will be less bearish, not more bearish as many expect. However, i think the market is yet to go down completely, dont be fooled by the green colour.

I would still go for stocks now and chase them to the very bottom i always think t-bills is for lazy investors a smart investor should only use t-bills to store an emergency fund which you then rollover. But with the current low values for stocks when a rebound comes stocks will still bring greater capital gains than the 14% for t-bills. It's time to accumulate stocks

Hi guys,
I have read, re-read, taken notes, studied, and repeated the process all over again on this particular thread.

my conclusion is, no one really knows when the bottom is coming.
Going by mwananchi,hisa, aguytrying, provedd, stocksmaster and mukiha, i have settled my mind to simply "follow the cash"
the big cash. institutional investors. and right now those ones are in TBILLs.

As hisa points out, for the next 12 months or so, as long as inflation gets higher, and MPC keeps rising base rate, not discounting cash already being dished out by politicians as elections nigh, the bottom remains a mirage.

i think.
