eish! Let him keep his cash till the bull so we can help actualize his rule.

Professional help here in Kenya is synonimous with brokership which translates to conmanship. That is how bad things are.

@Shonagal

Look at solid companies whose shares have lost big and spread your money buying them for the next four months starting now. ie, if you have 500,000 divide it into five 100,000 lots. Invest the first 100,000 between now and mid Dec. If you buy KCB now at 15 but by dec 15 it happens to fall to 10 shillings, add double the amount you bought in November. If in January 15 the share goes up to 13 by similar amount as November. If it goes down to 9 shilling by January 15, by more to add on the previous lot. By March, if the share goes back to 19 shillings, sell the lot you bought at 10 and 9 shillings. Hold the cash for election time as there will be heated campaigns.

However, do not keep the stand by cash with the broker, keep it in a fixed account according to the lots depending on when you will require each lot for share purchasing. Fixed deposit interest in banks is now doing 11%.

@deal, I find wazua more accurate in predicting the direction of the market than professional help, from uchumi, britak, transcentury, the banking stocks,kk, total, interest rates and forex etc. wazuans seem to get it right more often

Good one though your principles would work well in more developed markets with say T+1, and a fairly liquid market!

2012...what I meant was actually a stock with a rising trend...am sure you know that...dont try to mark my grammer but try to see the logic
