Pesa iko kwwa mfuko. Well... until later in the year when guys sell as they fear the election crises that the usual suspects are already creating!

'Bulls make money, BEARS MAKE MONEY, Pigs get slaughtered' Gordon Gekko. Someone somewhere always makes money, take an example of OCH today or guys who have started or will make a kill on betting against the usd.

Defensive stocks so far - City Trust, NMG, Limuru Tea, BAT - I'm looking at those that have not lost more than 15% since the bear started to feast...

Me thinks its not yet time to b all defensive...its still wait and see game...it all depends if the Ocampo6 will to the Hague...if they dont...then expect a mass exodus from the foreigners and there will be an annihilation at the NSE so lets wait for 7 April...

This works for me. I’m pathetic at timing. Have been investing a regular amount on a monthly basis. Will keep buying all the way to the bottom of this bear.
Main focus is on blue chips, particularly those whose price is way up there in a normal market.
Will be adding me some beer, some banks (BBK, KCB) and maybe some oil – stocks i’ve been holding for some time, and will be happy to hold anytime.

Also keeping a piggy bank (my war chest) in the hope that the doom enough of us are predicting for next year at the nse comes to pass.

When the market turns up, I’ll stop buying and watch people chasing the price up (and starting threads on this and that bus or plane taking off). I have time on my side.
