My friends still remained,one eventually agreed to marry me! So the mistake was marrying her? Jk  Mukiha atleast u didnt loose all Money comes and goes. When you have it enjoy it.

1.Bought safcom during the IPO at 5 bob. sold at 2bob. look at it now at 12 smthng
2.Britam (britak) during ipo at 9 bob sold at 6/- its now at 21
3. WORST DECISION EVER buying Mumias at 3.75 and still holding on to it as it plummets to the ground. Im thinking i should bail at 2.7/- or i should follow the lessons i learnt the hard way ie. NEVER SELL AT A LOSS
Note to self.
Looks like you buy High and sell low. Life is short. Live passionately.
