Banks cheap on PE valuations but expensive in absolute terms, likely to go down unless the market rises. for now hold cash and wait for discounts on the good stocks. If you must buy, you might consider Kengen, HF, Centum, KQ, CFC. ...I remember back towards the end of of 2011,when sacom traded at 2.8 range...at the height of negativity,nobody wanted to buy the stock here in wazua...some even called it a Ksh 2 stock...funny how things change. I think most wazuans are trend followers...instead of buying at the height of negativity at rock bottom prices. You were in wazua then...you seriously remind me of someone!

You were in wazua then...you seriously remind me of someone! Me too think he is familiar. My last bunch of Safcom shares i bought at 2.90/-. Sweet sweet Memory. That Equity bank guy at the custodial desk Marsabit town thought i was mad and even tried to 'educate' me on stocks trading. Receive with simplicity everything that happens to you.” ― Rashi

I remember an equity broker advising me not to catch a falling knife,at that time pan africa had a dividend yield of above 10% and a p/e of 2...at around ksh 19...I told him to excecute the order and shut the f*** up...when I went to cash in those Pan Africa shares last week,he asked me for advice...haha! A successful man is not he who gets the best, it is he who makes the best from what he gets.

lol!!! wazuans trendfollowers?? I think more of herd followers....they seem similar but they ain't.
the herd followers don't cut their losses quick and suffer from disposition effect.
any breakout traders in wazua? most guys here are fundamental traders,tried it but found it almost impossible to consistently profit from it.
I consider myself a trendfollower trading long-term breakouts 80+ days with loose % trailing stops.
with clever pyramiding you will blow away all buy and holders with half as much drawdowns....go figure

Buying on long timeframe breakouts as long the trend keeps up and doing the opposite on breakdowns.$15/barrel oil... The commodities lehman moment arrives as well as Sovereign debt volcano!

You have to overcome your human biases to trade this way.cut your losses quick and ride your winners sounds so cliche but its the only way. there is so much more material on this but this is the basic structure.
