30 Nov to 30 May = 6 months left to release of results 42(NAV) less 36(current price) = 6/- 6/36 = 16.6%
I can live with a 16.6% return in 6 months...
Greedy when others are fearful,Very fearful when others are greedy - to paraphrase WB @VVS #TBT NAV is not a good indicator given experience with KQ and ARM. It should not be the SOLE indicator. I hope I have learnt from my mistakes. There are many other factors eg management, sector, cash-burn rate, etc. Cash on hand, access to cash, etc vs having "dead" assets. Live and learn. Thanks for this #TBT. It's good be reminded of past failures to keep one grounded. Greedy when others are fearful. Very fearful when others are greedy - to paraphrase Warren Buffett

Ha ha. The other day, mps are proposing a Rights Issue. Lol. At what price? 1 bob. Another rights issue now??! @Obiero is now a case study in how not to invest at the NSE. He joins the likes of @VVS and myself on the honour roll. Kweli! KQ and Olympia top the list with poor (& scam-ridden) management. Others I dipped my toe into include ADSS & Africa Lakes. There was also KFB with scam artists like FT Nyammo. It's coz of FT that I skipped Longhorn. Once a thief, always a thief. @VVS we now qualify to form a stocks investment consultancy and make big bucks from our experience and knowledge. I am content to ask people to read, read and read. I have become more circumspect. Sad to say that my experiences with the shady firms made me avoid Safaricom in the early days.I am assuming you are not a professional investment advisor. Well, not yet, I am still waiting for a job offer from Winda Greedy when others are fearful. Very fearful when others are greedy - to paraphrase Warren Buffett

However lucky for me I disembarked when price rose to 46 in Oct 2010 booking looses of 36%. Lucky for me this was on low volumes of 1K shares so I lost only 26K. I used the proceeds of 46K to buy DTB at 119 and have never regretted that decision. My first story with KQ was sweet I had only bought 1K shares in 2004 at average of 17 and sold in 2005 at 79 a piece booking 364% gains or KES62K, sadly this was just a small trade I had made. So my net gain in KQ for the 2 trades come to 62-27=35K. Utarudi tena? Huko sirudi ng'o! Ndugu Obiero seems you are the only bridegroom waiting for this bride. Brides groom wamekataa to support you.

As I had explained, the first stock trade in NSE to make me real money was KQ. With 364% gains in less than 2 years, I thought I was a genius. But later on I thought I could be twice lucky which went the other way and lost 36% of the capital. DTB trade was awesome, I disembarked in 2011 and bought "buroti maguta maguta". Stocks are fun and currently I am slowly accumulating SCB mainly for dividends. Time is money, so money is time. Money saved is time gained in reverse! Money stores your life’s energy. You expend your energy, get paid money, and store that money for a future purchase made in a currency.

I dont think that you should be hard on any investor who made loss on stock market. You probably already know how hard it is to make the right pick and actually make some money on this market. It is unpredictable,so losses should be used to learn something about you trading decisions and this market
