[quote=dunkang][quote=HaMaina][quote=Othelo]why the over 10% drop before results are announced! [/quote]
Good question everyone should ask themselves before selling.

Didn't you guys hear about a "PROFIT WARNING"? (Actually, its more of a greater loss "warning")
[/quote]
Profit warning the day before the results announcement??? The Kenyan system is a joke! What's the point? Imagine a fellow who buys a tonne of shares on Tuesday, you issue a profit warning on Wednesday and release the results on Thursday!!! There should be a minimum time set between issuing a profit warning and releasing the results! Otherwise I don't see the point of profit warnings!! Does the management just wake up the day before the results are released and realize, oops, the profits will be down by more than 25% [or the loss will be higher]???
CMA should be categorized as a comedy club! Some companies don't even give profit warnings! They get hit with a small fine which they pay using shareholders' money and life goes on!!
Never count on making a good sale. Have the purchase price be so attractive that even a mediocre sale gives good returns.
