bilaz...i'm googling over n' over

Crimes against humanity september.

...The un-official elections

In any african market (except RSA) 18 months or a year prior to elections when the index is high

Either Sell Off to re-position after the election

OR

Prepare ahead to buy low some months to the elections when things are uncertain.

This is the best antinode for peace of mind.
In essence be prepared for the worse before general elections.

My choice as a long termer is always to accumulate more at a lower price. I am preparing towards that for Kenya bourse.

In Nigeria we say no shaking, I have experienced that several times in different markets (Ghana, Botswana. Nigeria). Money I injected in post election Ghana GCB (Ghana Commercial Bank) yielded 120% after a year. GCB is Ghana equivalent of Kenya's KCB.


It is just one of the young old tricks
as my tarket has always been to buy the selected blue chips towards the bottom for optimum returns.
I can still remember how I bought post 2008 Kenya election ARM at 60 Bob, KCB at 16.50 Bob, EABL at 119 bob etc etc.
.

I sold off all my ARM in feb 2011 at 192 not because it is not a good stock but because it does not contriburte much to my dividend returns.
A return of 1.75 bob on 192 is too miserly. I went to pitch tent with BAMB at 170 cum 7 bob dividend.
I will see how BAMB plays out (dividend + growth) in the years ahead though I am more positively inclined to high dividend yielding stocks.

Hahaha...I see we got something in common concerning high yielding stocks i remember after my shopping trip to "Dubai" to buy Scangroup all the way down to 14 bob achieving an Av.26 bob. After the Ogilvy deal sold off in lots btwn 45-65 as the 70ct dividend became annoying!
