stocksmaster made more than the 46% if the peni mbili dividend from that counter is factored in. I agree with vv, so far so good for stockmaster even though he has missed on some counters, he's still on his way to the 50% growth target he set at the begining of the year. Some people lose in the market coz they dont have a plan, they just trade and buy ovyo ovyo.

IMHO... he did what he had to do... and has done well... As for the rest, please show what u have or can do...

Start with 1 June 2010 & show an actual start date, amount... then the trades incl all costs...[/quote]
@vvs i wouldn't adopt the aggressive trading strategy in the second half of the year. IMO 2009 was time for mkt recovery led by blue chips - Bought my blue chips then. 2010 time for the medium and small caps to shine- been trading cfc, TPS, Kkzi, co-op. Market PE now 13 which means opportunities for a kill are thinning save for a few mid and small caps like nic, unga, access. The rest are junk. From now on i concentrate on preserving the capital gains by buying cheaply priced bluechips-kcb?bamburi?kplc? Saf?

@ Sparkly,

Good luck on ua picks, I will be following quietly behind to see if I can grab some as well.

One thing I did this year was to reduce on the number of counters I deal with but at the same time I increased volumes, the economies of scale have made me smile.

ACTIVITY 7: SALE OF 120,000 SAFARICOM SHARES @ KSH 5.85
DATES OF TRANSACTIONS: 25TH, 28TH & 29TH JUNE 2010

VALUE OF TRANSACTION:120,000 X Ksh 5.85 = Ksh 702,000
Less 2% transaction cost = Ksh 14,040

Cash Received from activity 7 = Ksh 687,960
Cash in hand after activity 6 = Ksh 122,430

Cash in hand after activity 7 = Ksh 810,390

Half Year Results:

Initial Investment = Ksh 527,850

Net Profit for the six months = Ksh 282,540

Profit as a percentage of initial investment = 53.5 %

Way forward

The Safaricom results were as anticipated but this did not result in a satisfactory capital appreciation.

The forthcoming referendum is destined to affect the NSE, and with one month to go expect foreigners to begin taking a back seat (political risk). A market correction seems ripe in July to factor this risk.

I intend to take a back seat also and watch closely for any bargains that arise due to the referendum.

Happy hunting.

@stocksmaster, good to hear from you and you do need to check up on us at Wazua more often.

Based on your initial syllabus, you've scored an A six months early. Flexibility from initial methodology has served you well, but I'd venture you can cautiously attain 100% return.
