You can't quote Buffett then say you have not seen any upward movement for 4 months!!! Kwani? If 4 months is a 'long-term' investment for you then WB's advice is not relevant for you!

Keep on stacking your favourite shares. Haraka ya nini? Mwenye pupa hadiriki kula tamu. 2H will be tough, what with the petrol siasa, maybe another round of Unga crisis, etc. Bottomline, prices might go lower

a bull market will be coming after a peacefull election....i dnt think we will see any bull market this year.Summer in the developed country is just around the corner and we know what effect it has one our foreign dominated stock exchange.I just wonder what those people are rushing to buy what they are buying.There's so much tigme to bottom pick and even manipulate price downwards to your advantage.But its not to say we shld not be buying ( if you can see a peacefull election)...we shld be buying as the market is moving sideway ( NOT diving down).the market has stabalized now and it will only take clashes or something of the sort to cause another sell-off.

qw, sorry QW, no one knows when the "bottom" is.

I knew when the nse started inching towards 4100. That a post with the word bull in it would pop up, and it sure did. Wait for a 'bear is back' if we go to 3800. Here's what i believe: there are gains to be made in the n.s.e this year. The index may not rally like last year, but at the end of the year, it will have been much more profitable to be in than out. The number of ipo's, introductions. Planned for this and next year, tell me that 'the big players' have factored in a peaceful election. As things stand, i aint leaving the n.s.e. Besides if things do go haywire next yr, if i survive. 2013 aint that far.
