Pretty simple!
the sell off was too rapid, it cannot be precipitated by the factors you have listed some of which are actually erroneous for instance what does a carry trade have to do with equities? US economy recovers? you must be kidding me! Fed stops monetizing and you speak of a recovery??? where are US rates vis a vis frontier?
we would need an event such as a lehmans collapse to see such a rapid exit
@kizee if you can call any of my points above erroneous then your knowledge in economics is pretty wanting! I can't really help with that one

And if you were slightly more exposed you would see other emerging stock markets are also on the decline! Did they also introduce CGT??

How can anyone talk about investors running away from Capital gains tax?? Maybe only Wanjiku would sell for such a reason! Any sophisticated investor knows there is nowhere to run to so they might as well stay put!!
