I know like myself most of you are not buying with the aim of occupying a seat on the boards. So what's your exit strategy if you have one, or do you flow with the river?

I always do 30% but keep counters which I believe have enormous future potentials (if only they could see it) hopefully for that seat eg KPLC, Kenya Re, HFCK.

Now over to you, maybe I could learn a thing or two because I'm currently re-evaluating my entire strategic plan to come up with a new one for the next 3-5yrs. Made a few costly mistakes in the 2007-2010 turbulence which I would not want repeated.

BBI will solve it :)

Good topic 2012.
I don't about other investors, but I struggle with exit than entry strategy. I blame it on greed.

Generic exit strategy is 25% gains. Otherwise I just adopt one as per share.

Here; here @wa_Ithaka. Exit is more difficult than entry....isn't that what they about Mombasa?

For me, a lot depends on what I want to do with the cash. If I'm on a buying run, I begin exiting at 10%. But hardly do I get out kabisa. In the last 10yrs, I've dumped only one share for good!

Usually, just sell enough to recover the profit gained and/or to purchase the desired new entry.

@Wa_Ithaka; many wazuans assume your name is Waithaka. I think it is wa-Isaac. May be baba/mama Isaac; or son/daughter of Isaac. True?

Different per firm... I (normally) buy based on a perceived discount to the 'intrinsic' price & the discount generally varies from stock to stock...

Nope. Its Waithaka, named after my guka.

VVS-when do you decide to sell?

When I think I have found a better investment relative to what I own... I dont hold much cash... BUT selling is HARDER to buying... LOL...
