Reading this thread and its cousin the biggest losers reminded me of the BCG matrix from Fundamentals Marketing 301. Over and above the current NSE categorization of stocks by industry , Wazuans should come up with a BCG matrix .eg 1.Cashcows: 2.Stars 3.Question marks/ problem chidren 4. Dogs This thread would be discussing Dogs eg. KQ,Paka, AK, (mongrels) CmC SGL, Centum, CFC, EA cables. The stars:ARM,NIC, The cashcows: Phombe, Sigara: DTB, jubilee Question marks : Kenya RE,Kengen,HFCK "ππ‘KQ makes money for everyone except the shareholder ππ " overheard in Wazua

KQ- 20.7, Sold at 10.80 If you have built castles in the air, your work need not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them.

But if you count opportunities lost as a loss, my worst is offloading EABL at 53, a stock that has since done a 1:5 split and the current price is in the strastophere. I'm sailing in the same boat. Bought sukari at 14.00, it now tastes bitter than Malariaquinne.

@Caramba , pole that 14 for Sukari is etched in ma brain .twas when one Evan Kidero and some lafy wete hyping and rebranding the Mumias darn thing was pumped upto 40 + halafu share was split sijui one for 5 ...and some peeps expect Kiteero to work miracles in Nairobbery¡ as Gabana.... The kind of post election violence and genocide/ economic crimes that goes on at NSE! Who recall Mwangi hitting sijui 200 halafu mara split mara IPO halafu another split. Member is the only stock my broker traded frequently and made money. I dont know why the stock dies not behave like that nowadays maybe it has matured ikazeeka :β) ...and the Kengen IPO s wacha tu....

I woke up one peaceful morning . Started opening /reading letters as I had not been around for several months. Was almost ignoring those from Broker but just a second thought I opened. Nyaga stock brokers had sold shares without my consent. No money either. Since then I got allergic to anything shares especially considering huge amount stolen. Luckily they spared ARM ScanG Mumias EAPC which I transferred to another broker and still intact to date. But was good riddance ; decided deviate from shares to lands, rentals , plots. best decision ever.Wish Nyaga had stolen a year earlier. work to prosper

If memory serves me right, I remember being conned Ksh. 49 for that mumias thingy. I remain bald to date Pesa Nane plans to be shilingi when he grows up.
