@Aspiring As much as we have analysed the research you will be in a better position if you start concentrating on a habit of reading local papers like dailynation section of businesses daily.,Visit and read wazua members blogs they are all sources of what you are looking for .Anytime you hear a company is reporting a good quarterly report then you compare the previous report you will know what percentage of growth is with that company or if they drop profits through news u will know thee reason .If you again hear good news of future expansion know that that particular stock in that company will head upward trend.its all about spending time to do a research by reading papers and blogs.Infact Kenya stock market is very easy to analyse for anyone compared with US NY exchange this is a complicated stuff that u surely need a research because of competition.Im in it for years and I know.

@tkzee very correct. Two things happened in quick succession, Britam presented their transactions Acorn and Real to the regulator. Shorter therafter SIB released a research note which was very shallow and lazy in strategic and value creation directions of each of the insurance players, the market got excited and all of a sudden anything insurance has rallied on bar kenya re.

Other than Britam, the other insurance companies will begin correct at some point.

The share rally reminds me of CFC Bank and Stanbic Bank merger. It elicited a lot of excitement on to the disappointment of most then.....The details is in the figures. So at 16 its worth taking your profit and look out for other opportunities.....!

Lets wait & see whether the trend will be persistent.

Hi wazuans,

@wanyina thanks for your input. From your post, I have gathered that I need some educational foundation so as to analyze factors such as: company fundamentals, company valuation e.t.c..

With the basics learnt, I assume that I will be able to analyze the company's growth prospects. Isn't that so?

I have downloaded the following books to get me started:

1. CFA Level I 2013 notes. (Looks really tough)
2. ACCA F3 2012 notes. (teaches the basics in finance.)

Which are some other uncomplicated books that one can recommend to a novice.

Or differently put, which books helped you guys at the beginning?

Thanks.

Hi wazuans,

I wanted to thank everyone here, for freely sharing their knowledge with me and to also encourage fellow aspiring experts to build a solid stock investment foundation.

I have come across this blog by Xaivier Chia: http://xaivierchia.blogs...investing-tutorial.html (I am finding it to be quite understandable)

Cheers.

The repose in Britm has been due to Xmas harvest. Those who bought when it was below 5 are cashing in and assuming the grain is grown and dry. There is a large sell order pulling the bull trend down for sometime. But this is just for a few days. You can as well see the buy side of carbacid has pushed the stock to 70 again. This will not continue for long as it will come down again crashing to the split price highest being Kes 47. Britam next station may be 18-24 Kes. it is likely to give an average Dividend of 35 to 60 cents FY
