Good Wazuans, I have some proceeds from a recent sale, I want to plow it back in the stock market for a period not more than one year. I know in another thread the two above were floated as good vehicles... Still which between the two is most agreeable with Wazuans?

KPLC But as a word of caution... People buying stocks with less than a year target usually end up defiled by the market! Mark 12:29

You are betterof than so many investors buying kplc at below 19.50bob "Don't let the fear of losing be greater than the excitement of winning."

KPLC has been sub rights issue price for more than 3 years. Cables has refused to rally past 20.00 for a longer period of time. If your getting in these stocks, think 3-10years minimum The investor's chief problem - and even his worst enemy - is likely to be himself

@Wondergirl, a chunk of 4,000,000 KPLC share just traded at Ksh. 13 in one felled swoop. Was that you entering?  Pesa Nane plans to be shilingi when he grows up.

19.50 was a rights price and so many bought thinking it was a good deal. "Don't let the fear of losing be greater than the excitement of winning."

Asi! nani ameachilia izo zote? @wondergirl the energy sector is set for a bull, you can as well balance your portfolio with both or even add others (kk and Transcentury). But since you asked about kenya power and ea cables i'd vouch more for kenya power. Seeing is believing

@ Madam Guru,
Thanks for your response, You once told me to pick Pan Africa Insurance, I did, needless to say I benefited. I will not be abused, anything I buy for the short term, I can also hold for the long term.
@Pesa Nane,
How I wish its me!!
@Jawgey,
Thanks for the insight, food for thought.
@ all
Thanks for your responses, keep the Wazua money making spirit burning.

Kenya power and KQ are two stocks very much prone to jubilee govt manipulation and interference. Exercise caution and have concrete basis for plunging into them

KQ has been whacked with a huge VAT bill thanks to Jubilee gov't And who controls JKIA? Jubilee gov't Who decides on security within Kenya [tourism]? Jubilee gov't I am staying away from both. See my post on this matter. Greedy when others are fearful. Very fearful when others are greedy - to paraphrase Warren Buffett
