My worst was having bought heavily into Uchumi hoping to offload just before the KenGen IPO.........you can imagine my shock when it went under.I only forgave myself after getting 90% financing to do KenGen,now that one was a killer,made good cash,to wipe th Uchumi tears.

About 5yrs ago i was in Suntra being advisd to put in my 150k into Athi river mining @14bob,i didnt!

Hezz,i couldnt help myself smiling how could you be told ICT has no potential in Kenya??? I thought you were in IT yourself......


Is Greed good?

For the buyer of NMG yesterday:buddy I warned you! But you either did not read my comments(see below) or you ignored me! And to you all,read these comments in this thread-all of them-coz you might emerge the wiser!Am still watching the green monkey in the financial sector!And can the buyer of NMG stand up and resurrect this thread!!!

selling my AK IPO allocation of 26k shares @ 14.65 in june last year. just the thought of the forgone gains drives me up the wall.

@ miser & wallyak,

ati NEVER SELL @ A LOSS???? That's hands down,the most unwise investment decision i've eva heard anyone give on SK. guys,dont chase your losses. always have a stop loss level for any stock-could be 10-20% below the buy price based on your risk appetite.accept it was a substantial error in judgement and action,learnt from it and MOVE ON! don't let pride get in the way of your stock decisions.

but let your winners run....indefinitely



He that resteth upon gains certain,shall hardly grow to great riches; and he that puts all upon adventures,doth oftentimes break and come to poverty: it is good therefore to guard adventures with certainities that may uphold losses.- Sir Francis Bacon

Bought 10,000 EA Cables pre split @25/- in 2004. Extied at 75/-. Share went on to hit 300+ before the 10 to 1 split.

Bought 8,000 EB @ 80/- pre bonus (2 for 1 bonus) in 2006 sold them @ 220/- pre bonus. The shares went on to multiply by 3 and now each is at 300/-. Had I kept would be having an extra 7.2M right here.

The winner - In my early days with shares,bought 8,000 KPLC shares @ 45/- around 2000 the damn things went down to 20/- then to 10/- then to 7/-. Panicked and sold @ 7/-. Luckily at about the same time NBK was 3/- so I said since am out i have nothing to lose.

KPLC later went on to 150/- in a year. NBK made me some cash but lost like 180,000/- in 2001 !!

And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him,who have been called according to his purpose.

I was told to sell KQ @120 but refused. I am now regretting. I bought KQ @9 in 2003

The chief value of money lies in the fact that one lives in a world in which it is overestimated.

Hezz was involved in a bad accident while in Singapore where he'd been working early this year. Didn't make it to the hospital.
