The only time I have delt with stocks is in IPO where I have made good chumz (including Safcom where i sold @ Sh 7/share). In other instances, I have never understood why a person would put his money in stocks as a way of investment. 1)the dividends are always too little; and 2)Share appreciation takes time and doesn't increase to justify investing in them. I prefer investing in real businesses like clubs, farming and real eastate where u get good returns almost immediately. Anyone who can justify stocks??

i buy scangroup in december 2009 at KES 27 and sell in on 28th september at 58.00 and you want to convince me you cannot make money unless it's an IPO!?

The stock market is called 'lazy mans business' according to my dad. but why struggle to make money (or rather lose) it when you can do so just seated there. no one works voluntarily.

if you keep your eyes open, and your ears on the ground, its bound to happen again and again. at the bourse you have to come with a strategy for every result, that makes the difference.
