If u are taking baby steps, id advise you to sell. the pain of selling and price goes higher is far much less than watching your gains disappear before your eyes


real talk !

Perhaps the key challenge to a new investor in Equities is knowing when & how to take profits/loses!

Precisely. Most new comers are speculators, hence no targets. Unlike individuals who've held Uchumi for several yrs, they'll be happy to buy more if it comes back to 10 bob. The speculator will most definitely sell.

Looks like it has held at 14 - 14.50 price range, with fair volumes still being traded. This appears to be its new resting point (as it did at 10 and 12 shs).

Given the good retail business environment, declining inflation, first half results, plus number of new stores that are now contributing to the bottom line, methinks expected growth full year only partly factored into the price - there is still significant upside potential. I do my shopping there, and am always pleased with the volume of business being done.

The oft quoted book value of 9.55 as a reason for current over-valued price may be misleading - Book value for June 2010 was only 5.8shs, and rose in 1 year to 8.6 by June 2011. Now, 9.55. It should be significantly higher by end 2012, given new stores, inventory, etc. Some good analyst out there should have worked this out already, contributing to the maintained high price.

Ive been adding more shares since 6.85shs, though stopped buying at 12shs (was dizzy by then!). I wonder if its time to start buying again, as the expected price dip is just refusing to happen - and may be rather shallow if it does, before another rally starts!

Tuskys its main competitor is being torn apart by family feuds, so Uchumi stands a chance to gain from its collapse http://theeastafrican.co.../-/15mv543z/-/index.html

I exited @ 13.75 hoping to board again @ 11. Seems it has refused to come down.

Wow! Great insights, key being that Tuskys grosses twice the sales of Uchumi. That didn't translate into higher profits of course...
GOD BLESS YOUR LIFE
