As the year comes to a close its a good a time as any to reflect on how the year has treated us. The highs and the lows, not to brag or anything, just get a feel of how the markets have treated us. Personally i dont have much to write home about, was going through my portfolio when i got the idea for this thread. ill kick off with my best move, it was only one. Cheers.

1. best=selling all my bamburi and half of arm shares and putting all that dough into dtb at 108

2.worst=selling stanchart at 202 and cancelling a buy of BAT at 200..all were at their pivotal points...classic money makers.
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.

Best - selling SCB at 300, picking up the same at 165.45, albeit only 300 shares.
Worst - picking up Mumias at 12.85.

@manziwamtaa: Why would you want to increase Mumia?
Knock hard and it will be opened. Ask and you will be answered. Seek and you shall find.

Worst Move: Passed on buying Coop at 8shs 6 months ago; really bad judgement call

Best Move: Got rid of my AK shares at 24shs; now looking at the stock's current value - no more sleepless nights...

Best move: getting into Equity @ an average of 15.50 bob - still holding will reassess my position in March 2011.
Worst Move: taking up Mumias @ 12.9 bob. Only to be forced to cut my losses after an 18% decline dividends considered.
