If you were given Sh.1000000 to invest in stocks and sell once there is a small margin, maybe from Sh.2 to Sh.4 onwards. Which counter would you buy and why?

How much loss (risk) can you stomach? The higher the risk, the higher the gain. So, what's your risk appetite?

@JBauer you could try getting into BAT at 550 and selling at 552 or 554... That would be perfect for an investor like you!!! Drool

For once @guru267 seems to be kidding with a soon to be newbie!. @JBauer; Calculate your gains/losses in percentages. Sell or buy orders attractive 2.1% (1.82% for sums of more than 100k) on both sides. Don't forget 2/= stamp duty for every 10k worth of order. Transanction fees, EFT, MPESA,Phone calls , email/SMSs, RTGS... Go for the PAKA!!!
The opposite of courage is not cowardice, it's conformity.

Am thinking I need a counter below 10 for volumes , that way, the small margins will be very profitable

Play with CIC,Safcom or Britam.These are very good for traders.But know when to buy and sell

You will need to read and understand Volume spread analysis
