sheep, whatever happened to 'Past performance has no bearing on future...' statmeister, considering most people (I included) picked unga, kenol, equity, or mumias, most people will be in the red. The people who chose to stay liquid have the advantage.

If everyone has 5 picks, whether liquid or not, you still have a chance to manouver around and deliver a decent return.

stats. i was late for making my picks. i do lotsa field work plus my mkikuyu fon doesnt help much with browsing, i think i should update to a jaluo phone with 3g and all this browsing features, hence couldnt make picks by 19th, i'll watch on the sides. though the idea is vey noble.

@stat.... I thought about the same thing... I'm looking to reduce my KPLC slightly so as to take advantage of any counter that decides to fall... I'll be watching KCB, Mumias and KK..

@komera a decent nokia (e series) will do. Of course you can look at the safcon huawei at 27k......

@Stat KPLC/Sell 200...KQ/Sell 200...Kenol/Buy 2000....

the games have jst began...i had to let go of KPLC i think its a long term one...i think the restructuring will go on into 1H 2011...the noise around KK will cool of this week...the interim results are out on Thursday....

@ komera, you cannot make picks now (see my earlier note) as you would be having too much advantage on other participants.

Week 1 Results:
Some participants have placed orders larger than allowed. I reduced their lowest (in order of listing and in even lots) to fit within non-negative cash balance as follows:

2012: EB reduced from 1700 to 1600
Kausha: Unga reduced from 1200 to 1100
Atiriri: Your picks don't look good. I had to put zero for BBK, BAT, KQ and reduced EABL from 500 to 300
QW: reduced AK from 2000 to 1000
Deal: Your latest order is on a 6th counter - not effected

All, please check you picks before posting to make things a bit easier this side.

Results are given in the following format:
(# of counters| Liquidity in shs| market value as at COB 23rd| %gain). A negative gain means a loss of market value.
