Can someone please explain to me how most counters are gaining when we are just 1 month to the election considering what happened in 2007, is their something I don't know. all pointers(previous years)were that the share index would go down even most reviewers opinions were it would, who is buying stocks now..?
Should I still hold on to my cash...? i am beginning to regret cashing out on several counters which have now actually gained in prices.

Anyone....?

what should be the best strategy in such a time, I am lost

@stud,you got the answer from @Hisah. Dont follow the crowd. And by the way in 2007, stocks were rising before the elections. I remember in the last trading day,24th Dec 2007 before elections,counters like HF ran out of supply at 47bob! Investors were betting on a peaceful election. They were wrong! We fought! Maybe this time they dont want to take positions,atleast the wanjikus or they are betting on a violent election. Only time will tell. As for me,im betting on a peaceful one!

@hisah you seem to have been sucked into the #Euphoria!

March 4th is still a serious wild card in this party the NSE is currently hosting...

what do you mean you have lost ??? you havenot enjoyed this full rally ? are you one of those fundermental analysts that tucked their tails between their legs and run for the hills because of the elections.Most of these fundremental analysts who sold last year are hitting themselves very hard .

The future is unpredictable and the past doesn't always repeat the way we expect it to.Don't regret cashing out,would you if it was tanking right now. My advice for you would be,go at your pace.Its your money.If unsure,its better to be safe than sorry. If you want to invest trust your knowledge.Knowledge is the only wealth that keeps giving and can't be stolen. If you are unsure about your knowledge don't invest,because that becomes gambling. Happy hunting.

If at all the effect of the election is to. be felt, then give it the last week before we go to the polls. They still gonna. come down...

The elections might be peaceful, its the aftermarth thats troubling. Sanctions(Uhuruto)? Capital flight(Railonzo)? Its a crucial time for a Kenyan investor and only a fool would choose to ignore the signs. My take-Diversify. Such that if things go well you'll smile, albeit a small smile and if they go elephant you'll still smile, another small smile. Buy forex or a plot somewhere, in any case all mbuses have left.

Earplugs (H1 FY'13). I feel you Cde YCSUN.

This thing is beyond peaceful elections...its also about who gets elected and the implications of that persons policies/government on the economy...all shall be known post March 4...its boom or bust...in case of a bust re: sanctions...none of this banks can withstand such kind of a shock...Sell Buy Back schemes will be too small too work from the ensuing bank runs, defaults and asset devaluation...so vote wisely...that's my only prayer...it will be sad to see Kenya go the Zimbabwe way...the road of self destruction.
