You call this hindsight???

When that thread was started [2 years ago!] Housing Finance was at 15/=. two weeks later, there was a fellow who was overjoyed when it hit 16.50/= [see post #11]. Two years later we are at 51/=!!!

Returns: (51 - 15)/15 * 100 = 240%

240% returns in two years!!! No hindsight!!! It was discussed in broad daylight!! Anyone with eyes and ears....

As for the Thomases...


@Maich I own some britam which is at the center of the current musical chairs.got in @9 so after about 1 year you can see why I'm all smiles. Let these guys continue doubting n sitting on the sidelines watching us make REAL money.And btw this is my 4th stock to hit over 50% in 1 year.

Congrats!!! And these same fellows will be calling you an illuminati in 10 years wondering where you got all the money and yet you used to work in the same company and were probably earning a higher salary than you!!

@Whiteowl, how much is Britam trading for now? I need these kind of investment stories so I feel strong enough to take the plunge...@Maich, I will be talking to you soonest coz I see you know what it is when it comes to stocks...

Wolololo, I just saw it, nearly 5-fold??. So if you went in 50k you come out with a 1/4 milli...enyewe!!! 85% sold...Wapi @Maich? @Whiteowl, what's the next muelekeo? Safcom? Long-term?

@ChumsQuest - You are in the right forum. We learn together. There are some heavy hitters here! A good number! One of the ones I respect most is @stocksmaster. You should search his threads. There are several others - I cannot list all of them. A couple of months in wazua and you can tell who they are.

To wazuans - Thank you for making this forum what it is. It is truly a wealth of information for those willing to learn.
Never count on making a good sale. Have the purchase price be so attractive that even a mediocre sale gives good returns.

In the same breath stocks have not been smooth sailing all the way. There have been bad stories ask KQ guys! I can name many. Some of us have seen HFCK move from 20 to 60 and back to 15. So the feel good stories should be balanced!

Currently the only discounted stocks in the long-term I can see are KPLC & KK. Widen your research n maybe you can discover some more.

I think even the illuminati invest time, money n other resources to achieve their goals. Running the world from the shadows is no mean feat. Laughing out loudly

Now this mortgage topic has been hijacked by stock traders...anybody who has been paying mortgage consistently for more than 5 years, tell us your experiences

Welcome to the world of mortgages!!
Never count on making a good sale. Have the purchase price be so attractive that even a mediocre sale gives good returns.

Is the bubble finally bursting or it's a false alarm?
