I looking to double my money by 2014, helped by the expected low share prices that normally occurs before elections(or has it already occurred?)
and the correction expected thereafter. not to mention the very bright economic growth prospects of various sectors.

My question is: Is 100% too small a target?
This is a once in 5 yr opportunity maybe even more with all the macro-economic factors and uncertainty in Europe debt. This could be a period of good luck/fortune to the wise investors.
I feel like i should be targeting more. say 150-200%.
Take Uchumi stock for example 160% odd percent gain from nowhere. It makes me think i should aim higher towards 2014.
Which stocks are able/likely to pull this off(if any) by 2014.

regards.

guru, I see your love affair with Kenya-RE is back on. Jubilee will not be pleased;-)

Aguytrying, I honestly don't think you are being unrealistic. The scope for growth is huge. Keep an eye on companies with Pan-African ambitions...

I would go with Kengen 8.50 to 21 half-year growth in profits 30% before power tariff review and commissioning of new power plants

NIC post rights 25.75 to 62/= EPS has more than doubled in last three years so in 2014 with EPS 11 and P/E of 8=88

Mumias likely to go back to 13 in 2014 and KCB 60/= My 2cents

We are firmly in the saddle, riding the bull. Super exuberance!

Thanks all. I see the next years as a huge opportunity for tremendous capital gains.

I've also looked at KCB.current pe 3.72. with only 2 years of 20%(very modest estimate) growth pe should be at 5.4. with a PE of 10 = 54.00. Around 150% gain. I like.

The deal just make fun, there are hidden gems somewhere. just need to find them.

love your optimism!! Btw KCB is very likely to hit at least 60.00.

when you think about it wazua does give a lot of free information that your broker will never give you... well until it's too late. amazing!

It will be harder to make money this year in stocks than it was last year. I give myself a target of 75%. 100% is a bit unrealistic considering that most wazuans invest in a number of counters.Let me show you how hard it is.If you invest in four counters and three of them gain 120% each and the fourth one stays flat,considering that you allocated capital in equal proportions, your net gain is 90%.It is still far from 100%.

Spot on! Na 2014 bado. There's no telling what the market will have in store for us after a peaceful election...

This might just be the answer, ama?
