It interesting that this was the 1st post for this thread.......March 2013, exactly five and a half years ago when the NSE 20 Share index was headed to 5000 pts....today its less than 60% of this.

When you check the top gainers and you see MSC, EVERDY, SAMEER, SASINI, EACABL are the top five gainers for the day, then you smell blood on the streets.

Happy hunting.

Are there bots trading at the NSE or some sort of automated buying? Just asking, The frenzy continues

Since stocks are for long term for the majority of investors, this is the best time to buy in the low but promising counters. However, speculation and short term investment is is appropriate for investors with deep pockets playing with 8 or more figures in cash

Ksh.10,000 can give you 16,000 Mumias sugar shares

ARM's almost "instant death" (since I got in 1 month before it was put into a coma) seems far more preferable than the death by a 1000 cuts experienced in Mumias, KQ, Deacons, HAFR, etc!
The end result seems to be the same!

In the meantime, I await a dividend from KK - a core investment
Centum (Tier 2) will also pay a dividend soon.

Times are tough for my firms and I will have to dig deep.
KK - VAT & economic malaise
I&M - Malaise in the banking sector. I expect some weak banks to go under by 2020.
KenRe - Tough economy and competition. It should load up on cheap stocks and see the benefits in the future!
Unga - Slow economy. Competition. Increased costs including VAT

Centum - Slow economy and "dead" RE market
TPSEA - Large CAPEX, slow economy, how's tourism?
C&G - Slow economy, construction is slow

That said, if one can, buy into the well-mamanged (low-debt) firms at discounted prices.
