The highly awaited half year results are in with a 561% rise in pre tax profits.

@ Muganda: I hope you still have the mumias shares as the feast is destined for next week.

@stocksmaster speechless ; and for a person as verbose as I am that is a rareity.

Only these words come to mind:
If it falls your lot to be a street sweeper, sweep streets like Michelangelo painted pictures, sweep streets like Beethoven composed music, sweep streets like Shakespeare wrote poetry. Sweep streets so well that all the hosts of heaven and earth will have to pause and say: Here lived a great street sweeper who swept his job well.

Top of the game on the first play of the year! 11 more to go, press on and keep us posted.

WAY FORWARD:

I am only 3% away from my annual target of a 50% growth.

I plan to use the early part of next week evaluating the counters. The recent price rallies in January have distorted the market but afew bargains still exist.

Market re-entry is scheduled for the end of the week.

Happy hunting.

Excellent!!!! Keep us informed...

BTW, have you tried negotiating on the commission with the broker?
Coz if you can do so... then your 50% will be much easier!

BTW, even investing in a T-Bill for 180 days will get u above the 50% coz rates running at 6-7% per 12 months!

@stocksmaster - Let's just say that i am inspired!
