Diversify is the key word around here so that losses in one counter can be absorbed by another counter. Choose 2-3 counters at the NSE and invest in them, look for good companies, research on them but remember predicting the market is never easy.

If you have never done share trading, then can I assume you don't have a CDS account? That is where you can start. Open an account with one of the brokers and remember, share trading is tricky. You have to do a lot of research on the companies before you buy their shares. Remember, the trick, just like in any other trading, is to buy low and sell high, and to know when a share is low is the catch. This will need some research and reading. There are many experienced traders in this forum so keep reading posts in this forum about share trading and you will pick a few tips. You can also post questions in the forum, there are experienced traders who may give you advice and answers for free. Hope this helps.

This is very good advice. A mistake I once made was choosing many counters, more than 10, some with as low as 100 shares. Very disappointing when you earn dividends of Sh25 or Sh65. I lost big time. Now I have learnt the trick. But choosing the 2-3 counters is the major trick.

Correct 'icecube', the challenge is which of the counters does constitute one's portfolio and a difficult task to pick 3 correct counters.

At the start of 2014 my top 3 were (HFCK, DTB Bank and TPS Serena) TPS Serena became Equity Bank because of the insecurity which affected tourism plus advisories and recently watched Unga rally from nowhere, just how difficult it is to predict the market. Sometimes changes have to be made to the plans CFC Stanbic also did quite well in the first 6 months of 2014 but some of these shares are priced too high for a good entry level. Buy low, sell high is the aim of every investor.

How is your experience with HFCK at the moment? Would you advice a buy?

I would recommend a buy of HFCK because of their strong fundamentals but not at the current trading price of around 46 which I consider not sustainable in the short term, I would be looking at prices between 37-40.
