Investing In Stocks: The Power of Visionary Leadership One of my favourite movies is Christmas Story and it has this favorite line, “they looked at me as if I had lobsters crawling out of my ears”. Visionary leaders can take businesses to heights never dreamt of before. Safaricom became profitable in only 3 years of operations, thanks to the vision of Michael Joseph, the company’s first-ever CEO. He took mobile services to the masses with per-second billing, something that we now take for granted. Visionary leaders can go against all odds and create incredible businesses. When you invest in a business, you are partnering with its leadership and investing in its CEO. It is therefore important to do some research about the company’s CEO and the top management before committing your hard-earned money to the company’s shares. https://kenyanwallstreet...of-visionary-leadership/Wealth is built through a relatively simple equation

Stocks investing is becoming very frustrating,you wait for ages with no meaningful return. "Don't let the fear of losing be greater than the excitement of winning."

‘That’s good for us,’ Buffett says of dropping stocks As stock futures dropped before Monday’s opening bell, Buffett said “that’s good for us.” “We’re a net buyer of stocks over time,” he said. “Most people are savers, they should want the market to go down. They should want to buy at a lower price.” Buffett said not to make investing decisions based on day-to-day moves. “You don’t buy or sell your business based on today’s headlines. If it gives you a chance to buy something you like and you can buy it even cheaper, you’re in good luck,” he said, adding that “you can’t predict the market by reading the daily newspaper.” Greedy when others are fearful. Very fearful when others are greedy - to paraphrase Warren Buffett

Finally Transcentury and Cables can benefit from this China mess. In the business world, everyone is paid in two coins - cash and experience. Take the experience first; the cash will come later - H Geneen

BH does have a lot of cash but not endless. These investing lessons are valid even when one has limited funds. WB didn't always have a cash pile like he does now in BH.

I'm surprised the NSE20 managed to close higher yesterday. The main purpose of the stock market is to make fools of as many people as possible.

Technically the NSE20 has been in a secular bear for 12 years or so since that 6161 high in 2007. Some stocks have been under water ever since. The opportunity cost of buy and hold during a bear turn is immense. Take the Nikkei for example which has been in a 30 year secular bear and still down 40% currently from its 1990 high. Most European indices with the exception of the Dax and FTSE are yet to recapture their pre-GFC highs which underlines long-term economic/structural weaknesses.

I can proudly state here that i have made a tidy 17% from Flame tree Group(FTGH) in the past 3 weeks.I have offloaded all my holdings today at ksh. 1.74 (ABP 1.48). Dumb money becomes dumb only when it listens to smart money

I get his point and he is infact also addressing 'savers'. Eg. If the market remains depressed for 1 year, that's good for a net buyer like myself. It's a continued opportunity to keep buying at a low price... The investor's chief problem - and even his worst enemy - is likely to be himself
