Am now wondering.....Have we been left holding the useless monkeys??

Nonsense... kwani, you were forced to buy the shares?

@VVS............Even those who bought the monkeys, in the story, were NOT forced to buy. It was a case of willing buyer willing seller.However,they had one thing in common with us.........GREED!!!!.

i've been trying to understand the African mentality and i see that we are still under the mzungu's spell...

the markets are falling and so what??? i said it about two or three weeks ago warning investors that the NSE wouldnt be spared from this disaster but that doesnt mean we start running for the hills but instead start accumulating cash and take advantage of good buying opportunities that have come...

and for the others who may not have cash... DONT SELL!!! the NSE falling does not mean your company wont earn profits so as it falls instead of selling at a loss sit back and enjoy the dividends and wait for it to bounce back since nothing lasts forever...

and one message for the "FOOLS" who take loans, their rent or mortgage money, childrens school fees, grocery money and the like to invest short term at the NSE.... times like these will teach you a very good lesson....

EQUITIES WILL NEVER LET DOWN THOSE WHO HOLD THEM FOR THE MEDIUM TO LONG TERM

@guru...........very good consolation. But you realise that the events of the last few days have left most of us very broke indeed. Especially when we started chasing Equity shares from 19bob to 24bob.

@guru. You are right on spot. Market will rise-fall-rise... If you planted your farm yesterday, why would you expect to harvest today? If you can wait longer, you can reap big. Infact, if you have money, prepare to get on board at your right time.

When the bull is running North, a good number of people tell us what price they bought their shares at, naturally at low prices......si hata sasa mwendelee kutuambia!!.

Sasa tumepatikana.

I don't know about you but I see a lot of opportunity. Remember the story of the two shoes salesmen in Africa? I have over 100k shares SCOM but I'm not complaining coz I'll still get over 20k in dividend.
But I'm more excited to see KPLC, Kenol Kobil, NIC, NBK, KQ, Total etc coming down to levels I consider to be good bargains. My sell for SCOM remains 6.2 whatever time it takes.

BBI will solve it :)

I sold some EQTY at 23.75 and stopped buying CFC when it went above 60. Had one last order at 63.50 but I pulled it back. Now things a falling together [not apart!] and I wait for sub-20 and sub-60 on these two, then I dive in again.

In the meantime, I'm in for some Ugali; anyone care to join me?

The silence on this thread tells me that most people can't believe their bad luck.

@mwenza,people may not be intrested in mediocrity.
@muchknow,lets watch the global markets tomorrow,the fear factor may be less,but volatility in the markets may persist until the europeans get their act together and they are trying.In that volatility is a chance to make more money if you make the right calls.

Tomorrow will see more RED. I see rebound coming in next week as from Tuesday. This is the time to stay Liquid.

I should have sold CFC at 74... but hey, it will be back.
@MUKIHA, thanks for making my interest in CFC. Its only when i saw your enthusiasm and realised there was money to be made.
