Keep the highlighted shares.

You will need to get an exit point to sell Barclays.

The rest I will not comment either way. I'm sure there are some wazuans who will have something to say especially about Carbacid which I have never followed but I know people who are excited about it.

I will not give you detailed explanations of each of these shares because of time and space but you can start by searching each of them on this forum to see past and on going discussions on them.

Asante Sana Maich. I sincerely appreciate all the you mentioned. Just a random question. Apologies for my ignorance. My dad holds a decent number of shares in Barclays. They earn him a fair amount of dividends and from what I see is that it is the lowest valued share in the Banking Sector. I understand the exit point you make because of slow or no growth but would it not be a safe bet for long term earnings? (maybe just dividend and a little bit of share growth)

I believe I will have to be careful on the advice i get..Well this weekend I shall take some time and browse through some discussions maybe that'll help me pick out some valuable information on shares and wazuans ;)

Welcome to Wazua, I must say you have a very generous dad some of us had to scratch the ground to get to where we are today. My advise would be, talk to your dad and try to find out why he bought the shares in the first place. Listen to his reasoning then weigh it out with what you get in this republic. Join the Fantasey Market here on Wazua and although its not perfect, it will be a good guide book.

Good luck

And also avoid this kind of attackers !

Ignore that comment.. I am the most friendly person here.. U will become my pal, soon!

Ouch! You should have noticed that "fell" was in quotes.

A sincere thanks to all of you who have given me advise above. I have done some research and have asked my dad some questions.Interesting things I am learning here.

My dad being a doctor is not one of the investor kind. He just put his money in stocks to diversify from other ventures I guess he thinks of barclays as a household name globally so finds it trustable.
That's his way I guess..


Now to me.
@mic_mic what insurance company of the 3 I have would you recommend and why? or if another why?

@mwenza and @gatheuzi I read about the barclays split.I noticed the high number of issued shares. I guess I shall hold onto feb until their interims are out. the look for a local bank maybe..any suggestions?

@sparkly i shall work on the risk profile asap...any links or any guides to do so? I guess the philosophy will come with time..ama?

Also guys as I am unfortunately not from jai like most of you lucky chaps. How is it possible to purchase bonds in kisumu? or from where? any good bonds I should look for?

I wish i could be in Nairobi. Kisumu is so slow and not dynamic at all...GAAH

Once again guys I sincerely thank all of you :)

Asante Sana my friend. I have taken your advice and am holding onto my pro folio as it is. Reading some discussion it seem the better knowledge have suggested 2015 not to be as good. Well let's just wait and see.

Meanwhile with my other saving I'm looking into TBonds and T Bills. If you have any advice do share.

when pple go shouting 2015 may not be good and pple have almost doubled their wealth in mumias wat do they mean?a market will never lack opportunities

My advice to you is to pick a few sectors from the NSE that are likely to grow exponentially and then choose the best stock from each of those sectors!

For the next 3 years I am feeling:

1. Energy - KPLC @16 max
2. Insurance - Kenya re @ 18 max
3. Construction - EA Cables @ 16 max
4. Manufacturing - BOC @ 140 max
5. Agriculture - Williamson @ 250 max (although this boat seems to have left the dock)

I also believe some banks will do well for guys over 3-5 years but ill let others advise on the best plays in that sector
