91% of sellers on KQ are foreigners... Hmmm... Or are they just taking profits? Or are the sellers from European Funds being whacked by Euro losses/redemptions?

Pole... I meant KenolKobil not KQ...

KQ seems an all-local affair (unless all foreign sales/buys are 'equal')

Emailed my broker on Monday to buy me additional KQ shares at 52/=. Price hits 52 on tuesday and wednesday and am jumping up and down. Talk to my broker (later) and I'm told "we have just taken your order to the market... my computer crashed..." wtf!? I'm loosing 8% in two days coz you computer crashed!? Can't you access your email from another terminal? Bure Kabisa!!! Sad Sad Shame on you Shame on you

But at least I'm still holding on to a substantial lot which I got at an average of kshs. 24/=. Just waiting to make a killing next month. The only question is do I sell before guru, vvs, pierce etal. or after. When do I make a bigger killing? I might just wait for everyone to take profits after which supply will dwindle and price shoot even further. Or maybe not. That's my only dilemma. He he he.

@ guru, vvs, pierce - At what point are you planning to flood the market?
Never count on making a good sale. Have the purchase price be so attractive that even a mediocre sale gives good returns.

LOL... Even if I put all my shares on the market, there will barely be a blip!

Yaani at 56/- you are still holding KQ shares that you bought at 24/- 133% p?
What are you waiting for? What if something happens? You are strong , I would have sold a long time ago!

BBI will solve it

Remember for a share (e.g. KQ to go from 12/- to 24/- to 56/- to 65/- to 75/-... it has to go thru all the values in between!!!)

U hold for 'value' not just coz it has risen 10% or 50% or 100%...

I sold too early...if only I held...I would have been untouchable by now...but anyway win some loose some.
The utimate goal of investing is to buy low sell high;if we re-write this core equation in psychology terms it becomes buy fear sell greed.

There was a time I was tempted to sell when it went to 64 but I decided to hold on mpaka june. I actually mentioned it on a certain thread (click on the link below - post #25). But by june 30th I'll have taken my profits and run to a by-pass near you Laughing out loudly Laughing out loudly Laughing out loudly "Hata shares inaweza kuwa shaba" Laughing out loudly Laughing out loudly
