I bought this stock at ksh.9 IPO in 2006 and held it faithfully for 3+ years. I finally let it go at ksh.11 because I thought my money would start to rot. The damn thing traded at Ksh. 74 jana and is going higher. Some people were not meant to ever be rich....Yikes!

I must admit this is one of my biggest fears in investing being left wondering why you sold....

Thats one of the reasons i keep
Watching stocks that i sold...

regrets dont solve anything...study your mistakes and learn from them.
The utimate goal of investing is to buy low sell high;if we re-write this core equation in psychology terms it becomes buy fear sell greed.

@Sheep/Cardinal...what have you learnt? that is what i try to get from wazua, but haven' managed. What would have informed you then that Scangroup was heading places?
Once i know how someone does that instead of gambling, then i think the stock market is a good place to be in

People always talk of fundamentals. They differ from counter to counter, and the earlier you learn the better. Monday will dictate a lot for this counter.

@cardinal how do you regret what you didn't know and didn't do. Ama you had a crystal ball showing you that scan would rise to 76? This mkt has taught me that its best to buy under valued shares and wait for mr market to give you a good selling price.
