What it means is that the vibe that ropes ordinary wanjiku in is out, that is, ''There's (quick) money to be made at the NSE...buy this, that and that''...unfortunately they are buying at highs ignorant of all techs and in some cases fundies (how else would you explain Mumias?!!) ...
Foreign and Local institutional do their research well, and respond to Intl market news/ movements. Golden handcuffs as @Hisah says will check-in...and then tales of burnt fingers and local investors saying they lost Kshs. (they bought high, forced to sell at a loss) at the NSE will suffice once again ruining the reputation amongst other future investors.
Reasons people should use, not common, but their own sense when investing.
