How are you surviving?
@fyatu,dont regret.Stock market is one of the best place to grow wealth over time. Its true you are not alone.The bear is rough to everyone. Take heart and view it as a lesson.I first joined NSE through safaricom IPO of 2008.i was among the many green wanjikus who bought their first shares then.I also bought other shares till 2012 and sold everything at some losses. I came back in 2015 with determination to become wealthy through NSE. I started a fresh slowly and im growing with confidence as each day goes by. Over those years,i have learnt some few lessons: a) Put money in the stock money that you can afford to loose.The kind of money that if it drops from your pocket you will not stress up. These also involves money that you may not need anytime soon. b)Stock market requires patience.Im currently buying safaricom at 23 yet there was a time it was 2.50!.These means you need to be patient and give it time. c) Take time to do proper reasearch on any company before buying it.Avoid sentiments and herd mentality. @fyatu,i will encourage you to never give up. Im here to make wealth for me and my children and i will only strive with many challenges and obstacles.Cheer up and relax.avoid stress. I really don't agree with Ebenyo. Firstly, the stock market you read about by Warren Buffett and the likes is not the same stock market we have here. They are not the same "animal". Here we have very weak law enforcement, so there are a lot of leakages in shareholder wealth that go unpunished which creates a vicious cycle. So stock market in Kenya and the one in the US are not the same "thing." My strategy which works very well for me has been to put most of my money i.e. 90% in risk free treasury bills and bonds. Then I use the rest of the money i.e. 10% to set up or invest in very high risk new ventures. The 10% provides me with the potentially unlimited upside while the 90% provides me with a floor beyond which I cannot go under. The way to stay rich is to avoid being poor! One of the biggest hidden costs of the NSE is that it attracts a lot of smart people, who are over trained and over read for a market with so few investable companies. A lot of companies e.g. EAPC are riddled with corruption and the NSE doesn't really suit an emerging market with a high level of corruption. So it's a big waste that people full of American ideas about the stock market operate in the NSE where a lot of rules learnt from American investors make no sense! Your intellect, money and time is much better spent creating your own company in stead of fishing in the muddy polluted waters of the NSE. Funny enough my biggest success is outside the NSE... Today my exposure is 20% of my networth... It's significant despite me don't seeing myself not settling in Kenya lol... Hopefully my daughter is interested one day...

What I advocate as a good investment strategy is 90% Treasury Bills and Bonds and 10% High Risk Investments in new Ventures. You could start the venture yourself or fund a venture with a team you believe in.
This portfolio is good because it's very robust. You are basically guaranteeing that you will not go below 90% of your assets, which means that you can sleep easy at night and have no major downside shocks. The way to stay rich is avoid losing your money!
The 10% investment in new ventures or start ups on the other hand gives you unlimited upside potential.
So basically the strategy is, limited downside, unlimited upside

So basically the strategy is, limited downside, unlimited upside Your strategy is very sound. I agree you make more money by losing the least amount. My only issue is that the 10% can just as easily be lost in the venture deals and it can just as easily grow exponentially in the stock market. Look at Equity, Safaricom, Kakuzi, to name a few. I think caution is critical whether in nse or anywhere else. The shenanigans in nse firms are also in those american firms. Look up the tech bubble and how it happened. How many were wiped out by it? They must find it difficult....... those who have taken authority as the truth, rather than truth as the authority. -G. Massey.

So basically the strategy is, limited downside, unlimited upside Some stocks have higher dividend yields than interest on T-Bills, after tax. Life is short. Live passionately.

I like stocks because they beat inflation in the long run. Towards the goal of financial freedom

I exited after the elections last year while still in the green. I came back in September 2018.
I'm buying on a regular basis with some spare change picked up here and there. I was a speculator before my return, but now I'm going for dividend. Sticking to the blue chips.
Trying to position myself for future cash flows. Appreciating the falling prices.

Its indeed a buying time.bahati mbaya sina pesa ya kutosha.i could have gone on a buying spree. Just buy with what you can spare, or at least deposit with your broker regularly. I'm following some advice that I read right here on wazua; I did what analysis I could on these stocks. NBV, PE, Div yields, cash flow ratios, etc. I established ranges that I think are fair value. When I get money and the price is within that range and the company has no adverse sentiment against it, I buy. Seriously, you will rarely get the perfect stock at the perfect time. And having deposits with your broker is like having your finger ready on the trigger; sometimes these stocks become drastically oversold; during these times you shoot one or two rounds, but not your whole clip. (Of course, have a financially strong broker) Seriously, DON'T BE GREEDY!!! Be boring. Make a trade that you've analysed for some days, not the one that came to mind when you saw the price when you sat at your computer. Those have been my lessons.

I cashed out back in 2016 with exception of KK which I sold during the recent buyout.I'm not in a hurry to make a comeback n I'll watch from the sidelines till 2022.With the current state of the economy I've better chances staking my money in Sportpesa than going back to the NSE.This is going to be one long bear.

Long after this bear market 2015 - to date, ends. We surely will remember it as the most brutal. Who would have thought 2020/21 would be worse than 2016? Will 2022 be the worst of them all? Given the election?

Respect. I did not see this bear coming. Left after the dead cat bounce of late 2017. There were signs though of the receding tide then. The economic head winds emanating from the poor private sector contribution to the overall country GDP growth were headed to NSE shores. It is clear that Public sector spending driven economic growth cannot generate enough tides to lift the entire economic ocean, it can only catalyze. It may register on the barometer but........The catalysis by the potential multiplier effect can only happen if foreign participation is controlled.

I am still with Nairobi bourse mainly for income (dividend). This is an average or moderate strategy. My portfolio is geared towards dividend giving counters, I am sure we all know them. I started this since 2013 in order to survive here. So far so well, so in the near term there is no plan to pool out of Nairobi bourse . The wazua spirit as members is to educate and inform and learn from others within the limit of what we know in any chosen area irrespective of our differences in tribes, nationalities, etc. .
