From what i have seen with KPLC and Carbacid good news does really move a stock or is it just the Nse dominated by retail investors where news is key instead of company fundamentals.My verdict is if ur investing on the Nse follow the news and you will survice.

.............22 views....no reply.......let me go first

Any way it does...when Obama won the NSE resurfaced temporarily....when there was PEV (post election violence) NSE shukad seriously in days....passats affect CMC......e.t.c....the one that affects it the most is political unrest .... but well...that also depends on the definition you have of news .... because also stuff like profits,losses e.t.c. are business news and the WILL affect the markets

I beleive there are also people who get wind of such details before it hits the media,so the news (at release) will already be priced in on the stock.

@the deal...you lose me.You find nothing in the news that backs the fundamentals of Carbacid and Kplc?.The counters moved up because of speculation?

@cnn - wacha kudanganya... You said '@the deal...you lose me.You find nothing in the news that backs the fundamentals of Carbacid and Kplc?.The counters moved up because of speculation?'

****** KPLC announced great profits recently so the price jumped 20%. a nice dividend (8/-) was a sweetner as well. Almost 6% for the dividend. Yes,it is 50% of Kengen Bond but with potential to grow. That was the driver.
****** Carbacid has announced BEFORE the trading suspension was lifted an EPS of 22/- in this crappy time when other firms are losing chapaa... and a 15/- dividend!!! That was the reason for the jump in the price.

@ v v s
Those were questions i was putting to the @ the deal...i didnt talk of speculation anywhere.Read the posts again. I now hold shares in both companies and that is because all you said and more was within my grasp.

Share prices (even NSE),are driven by 4 things:


Changes in companies fundamentals (think legal/environmental/political/economic/social/technology)
Other news
Speculation
Insider trading
