As you strategize remember that ordinarily, stock market price falls take a lift on the way down whereas price rallies take the elevator on the way up. Just don't sink in money you would be needing in the next 10 years. That's my strategy, and it's enabled me sleep easy. Granted some stock price rallies may occasionally take a lift on the way up once in a while, but I don't do luck. I speak from a position of many years' experience. If it don't make dollars, it don't make sense

My predicament, I don't have the kind of money that I won't need in 5years let alone 10. I'm looking for a short term investment that I can easily liquidate to meet other obligations in 6months to one year. Your advice?

Never count on making a good sale. Have the purchase price be so attractive that even a mediocre sale gives good returns.

Not necessarily though I understand the impatience. Warren Buffett has held Coca Cola, AMEX, etc for 10+ years. Imagine having bought Apple in 2010! I am not saying one should buy and not monitor the firm's performance though! Greedy when others are fearful. Very fearful when others are greedy - to paraphrase Warren Buffett

It's more realistic.5 years is also good.Below that not advisable.Let this guy take a money market unit trust.thats for short term goals. Towards the goal of financial freedom

I think current corona prices have already factored in PAT -40% for KCB. There wasn't much blood bath on Friday post announcement. I don't think prices will drop much further down. Recovery of share price will be a long road. I may be wrong but that's my take.

They make more than the purchase price ever two years in dividends and the share trades consistently at more than 10 times their buying price. Personally I have bought Equity heavily. Waiting to make my last two purchases in the next couple of days/weeks then sit pretty. Never count on making a good sale. Have the purchase price be so attractive that even a mediocre sale gives good returns.

There were almost no opposing voice to the popular wisdom that "Safaricom had no future and there was no way it would make money going forward". The few who thought otherwise were either afraid to comment or had their voices drowned! Given the giant Safaricom has become including in financial terms, this has to be the one that goes down in Wazua history. Never count on making a good sale. Have the purchase price be so attractive that even a mediocre sale gives good returns.
