Indeed the so called "experts" have failed to beat the market whereas the average trader/investor has made money out of the market.

Now you tell me, for those who took it seriously, was it a good idea to stay of stocks in 2014??? The shares you sold did they fall or rise in price come December 2014?? Tafakari hayo.

NB: And I am not talking about the entire market. I am talking about the stocks you held. If you were holding KCB for example, wachana na performance ya KQ and Mumias if you didn't own them in the first place!


@MaichBlack look at the chart below (Courtesy @Mnandii in the Elliott post).

You can see that if you bought your stocks in 2012/3 around the point labelled B the rise was swift and sweet. After late 2013/early 2014 the market is just trading sideways without any definitive UP or DOWN movement.


@Sparkly - Kindly read my post in full especially the NB:
Never count on making a good sale. Have the purchase price be so attractive that even a mediocre sale gives good returns.

There is something called a sideways market or a range bound market which is one tricky market because you don't know if the trend will break up or down. Sometimes it's not about beating the market, sometimes it's about protecting your nest. Rule No.1 make money and Rule No. 2 do not lose money...ni hayo tu!

@Maich I have read but still not convinced. Post your returns after Jan 2014 HERE and show us how you have beaten the sideways market.

NB: Under- performing a rising market is more financially rewarding than beating a tanking market.

Technical analysts, fundies and my gut feeling all spell doom for 2015. I need a mentor to teach me about treasury bills. What are the current yields for the three month treasury bills? Any idea? Help a newbie in the debt market

I would like to hear @guru267 's opinion on this. Where are you?
