Well, at least you learnt something. Returns from shares comes from two sources. Capital Appreciation + Dividends. Remember that in future.
What planet are you on  ? Even a form 1 knows that. You don't see the Kimuka bungalow seller shouting about "sweet annual (rent) dividends" all day as if it's a big achievement despite the rents coming in HARD AND HEAVY. Year after year. At a reasonably predictable rate. He just builds and rents and sells in a year for that 4M (in fact more) cap gain that VVS struggled 6 years to accrue Heck, even my 21 year old nephew, with some guidance, bought 10 acres, subdivided it and cleared a cool 9m in pure profits over a six month period. How many years would have it taken for the dividend crumbs + cap gains of VVS's crumbling equities to match the same As I said, VVS' fatal flaw ni ujuaji mingi tu. Masomos mingi mingi (mindless theory) yet performing abysmally in taking solid advice My ribs are still healing! @vvs is an experienced conservative investor who routinely fights to stay just above inflation. he is seldom thrilled by astronomic capital gains. indeed his returns are not profound, but that's his strategy COOP, IMH, KEGN, MTNU
