Buying Kenolkobil @14 hoping for a buyout by PUMA @40 only for the deal to be dropped...I had to sell the damn thing @ 9.

Mwekezaji was the chief advisor on this one!

Blame yourself for that one. Even coat tail investors are not exempted from doing their homework.


Mwekezaji also advised about HF diamond in the rough after doing his due diligence. Don't blame any wazuan for your choices, they do their due diligence before investing.. but stock options are high-risk we all know.and can take time to rise again. but it eventually does. if the company's fundamentals are strong, that is.Anxious

I do agree with you on this one. Things have generally calmed down, they are no longer attention seekers! Its a turn around this one.

@SPt KK...didn't we look forward to a swish. As things went ahead and the turbulence I recall changing the guidance to 'tact'. Provided for some profitable trades.

I see you moved from Ngamia? smile

Made the following errors:
1. Exited BRITAM at 6.00 KES. We can all see where its at right now.
2. Bought KCB at 23 and exited, quite unwisely at 27. Bummer
3. Holding on too long to these CO-OP shares. I am now thinking of dumping them after making my couple hundreds after the bonus share. Wise decision? I don't know. Hope I won't have to update this thread with bad news.

I think COOP is about to take off. with their expansion strategy and bancassurance its about time it joined its brothers-equity and kcb.

Learn from your mistakes and hold on to a good stock.

[quote=faa]Have made many mistakes,but all of them have one thing in common. Lack of patience.

This is one thing thats very hard to manage but you get better with experience. One thing I have learn't is to avoid trading in the short term.

This thread and this one remind me that indeed Mr Market does exist. Vital lessons learnt, a friend advised me to play centum at 12 but i couldn't see that light at the tunnel
