what i like is how older posts make people eat their words kavu kavu bila blueband.

as an economist, there is only a degree of certainty you can give.

Btw...i spotted a user by the name KenolKobil snooping around this thread jana. Labda ni Segman mwenyewe!

I'm sure its the PR team looking to see how the market is reacting to their promotions and results etc. With the social media et al, corporates are joining in (snooping around, whatever) such sites to see market reactions.Not so sure they would want to give any position though

@MwM, this is not completely surprising given the nature of the market (should I call it the nature of the beast?) and the ever changing circumstances. People's views respond to the state of the market, and you cannot retain the same mindset when it is clear that it is no longer appropriate. That's why I usually take share price predictions with a pinch of salt given that to a large extent they depend on the mood of the market, which is a lot more difficult to predict.

Speaking for myself, I am personally happy when I can analyse a company and come up with a reasonable prediction of expected performance and it comes close to the mark. Likewise, I applaud others views who do something similar. As to the share prices, the market will take care of that and sometimes a price target will be hit long after you expect it, due to no fault of the analyst.

big up to the guy that cited lack of volumes to sustain the high valuations at the beginning of the year, that post realy got me thinking and now am sure happy i took necessary action and shifted from aggressive to conservative.
