I like the list too.. Try to keep losses to a minimum, but remember one has to be ready to see dwindling positions from time to time. All the best @ebenyo hope this answers you on the entry prices. And for those who claim I have made KES 10,833 per month over 10 yrs, you dont know even a quarter of my Story, which is well documented right here on wazua where I inform all buy/sell decisions. Plus most of my active/large purchases such as KCB & KQ happened 2yrs ago. Stocks are a good way of passive Investment. Those who are in property acquisition / building know what I mean On Safaricom I leapt out at precisely the wrong time.. Must be the worst mistake I ever made in trading But i guess you are doing well in real estate. Its just you are a medium term investor in NSE.Were you a long term investor,you could have been smiling all the way to the bank now.But you still have time going by your age. If you combine long term stock investment plus real estate and little Treasury bond you will just need to sleep only. Towards the goal of financial freedom
