@sparkly like your response but u got me asking how does one know if a stock is overvalued or undervalued

- Using P/E ratio. CFC trades at PE of around 10. 8-10 is reasonable. Below 8, the company is undervalued. Above 15, buy at your own peril.

(how did u get at chini ya120). ?

Charts aka cartoons - Lots of resistance/ support at 115-120.

what is the starting point, is there a formula eg equity is starting a new biz how do price that or you just use their previous earnings?

No one knows how the new business will perform. You take a gamble, if it pays well and good.

finaly how do you tell the quality of management if you dont deal with the company day to day?

I stand to be corrected but many of us over react/stop to
over celebrate after making a small gain here and there .We sell then plunge the loot into another counter expecting to make another similar genius kill only to loose much of it again.and the cycle continues .If you are in a nice,well driven bus sit back and enjoy the ride,accepting that there will always be bump on the road instead of switching buses after a bump

@target1360 stocks is an investment where you set individual targets ( gains vs timeline) after which you book full or part of gains. You have to review your portfolio in regards to prevailing economic conditions(after good research). try imagine those who entered mawingu @>90/- Sukari @49.5 paka @20 if you refer to "trading blunders" & some other thread "stock to hold for life...." Well driven mbuses with qualified experienced drivers some time cause tragic accidents!!!! Know when to board plan on when to alight (research ;make personal decision,WAZUA threads are GREAT )

@boris how do you set a target for something that you have no control of. its like setting a target to live for 100 years!
I d humbly suggest an adjustment where you exercise caution when dealing with stocks with large gava holding eg mawing, msc, portland, youl realize that they have/have potential to really burn

@boris like some one said hfck is a case of one person moving a shilling from his left hand to his right hand.britam= equity. My strategy is that simple, buy good businesses and never sell them.
