Hello there...
I have been visiting the forum as a guest but finally decided to dive in ...

Even though i have been investing in the NSE for a while, it was not with vigour. I did not apply any wisdom to my deals. Yet I was lucky in most cases. e.g. I bought Athi River at 15 bob, and still have them.

Long story short, i want to get educated and I promise to share any wisdom that i have along the way.

My first question is..What is the relationship btn the price of a share and the date a company announces results. I have noticed that the share price tends to go very high up just before results are announced followed by a sharp decline immediately after. Somebody pls shed some light.
Pls forgive any ignorance that my spew out of me.

Thanks Muganda.
Interesting, very interesting. I guess we all need a good doze of IQ and EQ. I have wondering when's the the best times to buy, then I realized there is no quick answer. A stock could fall in price due to poor performance, but if one is not aware(not following in press) and they go ahead and buy then they are kind of stuck for a (long)while...

@guru - i am the analystical type, but i must admit there are instances i have purchased based on EQ...

he uses IQ and focuses

Indeed the world's greatest investor has an answer for many quagmires.

1. Answer to @RichVee on when to buy:
The only time to buy these is on a day with no "y" in it.


2. Answer to @guru267 on IQ:
To invest successfully over a lifetime does not require a stratospheric IQ, unusual business insights, or inside information. What's needed is a sound intellectual framework for making decisions and the ability to keep emotions from corroding that framework.
Beware of geeks bearing formulas.


3. Suggestion to @VituVingi on how long to hold:
We believe that according the name 'investors' to institutions that trade actively is like calling someone who repeatedly engages in one-night stands a 'romantic.'
Only buy something that you'd be perfectly happy to hold if the market shut down for 10 years.
