this is questionable advice at best...shilling cost averaging is what got him into this problem...[/quote]


I think cost-averaging is what makes me keep going in the business of stock....Buffet say that he only checks the prices of share to find out if someone has done something foolish... .He buys from pessimists and sells to optimists..That's why I am salivating for KCB...Pessimists do not stop selling...right now it has the lowest price-earnings ratio in the industry...what does that mean???

I think this cost averaging can only be done successfully if you bought this share at say Ksh 24.00 or in its twenties. Those who bought this share when it was ksh 30.00 i think your fate is sealed how can you use cost averaging in such a position ?????To avoid losses probably wait for two to three years maybe by then the stock wld have apreciated to your buy level.I agree though there are optimists in this stock.I cannt wait for this stock to bottom then i sell it to them.... a nyc profit.

I Bought 5,000 KCB at 32.35 then an additional 5,000 at 27, well i don't really understands stocks investments other than you buy low and sell when price goes up. I guess i was dumber to think Dyer and Blair will be investing my money wisely, I was not on top of it as i should have. What would you smart investors do if you were me? I realize now that i have lost big time..Help please! Please don't make me feel any worse than i am feeling already..Advise please.

Others were Kenya-Re 5,000 at 14 and safaricom 19,000 at 7.35. I blame my broker for making some moves without my authorization and i don't know if they seem the best at the time but how could they have spent most of my money when the stock seemed to be at its highest price and since never gone higher? please advise...Thanks


I would go back to the basics. Value all the stocks available and identify the bargains. IF the stocks I own are expensive I would SELL and buy bargains.

I downloaded this book "Intelligent Investor" from torrent sites. About 35 Mb . Just from the first page - the Preface- it gets you glued.Its actually the 1934 Edition.RAW . Just the way Benjamin Franklin wrote it.I love that guy.
For the tech savvay here the torrent address link to the ebook. ::: http://torrents.thepirat...am_-_Security_Analysis_(1934_edition).pdf.5063567.TPB.torrent

Enjoy

you are talking about the 1934 book 'security analysis' by Benjamin Graham and David Dodd which i recommend to any super serious fundamental analyst. The intelligent investor was churned out much much later.
Spread love like violence.

For those who love value investing there is a ka-book by the name "The Little Book Of Value Investing" By Christopher H. Browne.

I find this booke VERY GOOD. it doesn't guide you on how to trade but it perfectly shows you how to pick great stocks and how to make it grow like how Warren did.

Another great book I have read and would reccommend you read is "The Five Rules For Successful Stock Investing" by Pat Dorsey.

@sparkly,
Mind sending the kabook so that I can be informed and reduce my losses.
@everyone: Do you a broker who can execute my orders fast enough D&B, have taken 2weeks now since I asked for some sales without any communication! Everytime I call there a lady who picks up da fon and just hangs up as soon as I mention the reason for call. Quite disapointing
As an investor I behave like a tick, patiently waiting on grass and larch onto the first cow that shows up. As an investor I dont behave like a tick...I jump off the the cow as soon as am fully engorged before it dies...
