Kakuzi 72/- & poised to go higher as Tea prices continue staying high while production booms thanks to rains.

Sasini 12.55 & supply dries up. Tea & coffee prices up. Rain, rain is the icing. merali notwithstanding. I would sell out coz the cream will be skimmed.

Williamson 180 but lots of potential. 1H EPS was 24/- (some of it biological gains) but this will be converted to cash as tea sales are brisk. Demand for tea remains unabated. Book value 300+. Also owns large part of a nice building in Community.

Kapchorua 135 is Williamson's younger sister & same goes here. Apparently they had acquired a farm 2 years ago. It is paying off. 1H EPS 11+ & debt almost paid off. Debt-free is a nice place to be. A revalued book value could be over 200/- & a lot of it would be new cash from sales.

See my earlier post in July last year on 'El Nino is back!'. I predicted that this counters will rise. Problem is I did not put my money where mouth was.

"these counters is making alot of investors very rich.. my only hope is the speculators know when to jump out". Rich is an understatement. Filthy rich is more like it!!! But I love the ride, 77% cap gain so far on Merali.

At this rate I may offload sasisni mid next week, I predict it will hit 16/= then begin a free fall to 12.00/= and stabilize arond there forsome time. Thats my 2cents worth.

@ecstacy, have to admire your tenacity. Just as a learning point however, if you're now in for 2 years, why did you sell the first time?

Or was it just a short term play then?

Realise time has proven you very right on the Kenol and Sasini calls you made in end of January.

One thing this market has taught me is 'never follow the experts' . determine your risk appetite, set your goals, stick to your gameplan and make money. Chasing stocks is a baaad idea.

I gave some experts 110,000/- to invest for me on quality stocks shock on me i only got 66,000/- back after redeeming my investment after 2 years due to the expert's bad market moves.

There are no experts on stocks just seasoned traders with differing views on the market outlook.
Risk what you can afford to lose.

I would rather buy on the way up and sell on the way down...the most important thing is not what the market is going to do,but rather what it has already done.

@cnn, thats the beauty about Merali. So erratic that if you play it well you cn make good dosh. But like @vvs, I don't trust him.
