@hisah. Maybe it shall be so. In life, we live on plans and hope for their success. By the way, I meant half year and not full year. In two weeks time, I shall exit the cockpit for a second or two.. :)

^^^^@obiero,

I would advice you not exit during the current bear, hold on coz I see the share touching 8-9 bob within a year or so, this will be due to imoproved result announcement in the coming year...they will be losses by improvements.
Plus the tourism sector is recovering,Lufthansa just started pouring in Germans, some will be shuttled across Africa by KQ,plus this was the lowest point for KQ, now the only left direction is upwards.
My many cents advice.

@impunity thanks for the wise counsel. However, the goose/mbuzi is cooked.. There is no turning back for me due a pressing financial matter. I remain acutely aware that the fundamentals of this firm have always been strong, but were faced with a weak management and terrible luck on the macroeconomic front in the past 24 months. I do not recommend a sell for anyone else as at now.. On H1 results release date I shall issue a buy/hold/sell recommendation for my beloved wazua republic

I am sad that @Obiero is divorcing KQ and sadder that he is taking a substantial loss.

Anyway all the best @Obiero and remember the lessons learnt:

1. First rule of an investor is not to lose money. Consider the downside and have a margin of safety. My insurance is an assured dividend even when stock is down.
2. Cut your losses. When speculating, know when to exit a losing position before it is too late.
3. Take control of your emotions. stocks will go up, stocks will go down. Emotions will tell you to buy when stocks are up and sell when down. DO the opposite.
4. Understand your investment. You are buying part of a company so take time to understand its business.
5. Last but not least airlines are not good investments. They make money for everyone else apart from the shareholders. Keep away.

That us the airline industry now. Highly volatile. It can make So much profits in a decade and wipe it out in just a few months. Here interests of the other people are put first and those of shareholders ignored.

How many African airlines make money?
How many African airlines have collapsed since 2003?
How many are on life support?
Stop conning yourself it's a European-American problem.

^^^^ @VVS

Its wise not to kick a horse gasping for its last breathe,@Obie has seen enough in this stock, please let him time to recover.

Remember last year (or the year before) when you really got thwacked really hard on your damn face when KK dropped from a near 20s to now below 10!

@vvs you should have dropped your signature by now.

This firm has been disected, bisected, and intersected squarely and intersected well by wappy republic. Life indicators are in red evening if the environment is turning grean and the vaultures have left the skies. The system must go comatoes Sub 2.5/= to preserve energy, allow radical life saving surgery (one of restructuring cost-mckesy) and allow healing to good health. Intrinsically the pilot knows what to let go to float and land safely. Is that a pawn out there?
