Guys as the action in the market cools off - so we can jichagulia Katiba - we can all learn from one another.

My Worst mistake in the market to date is after entering the market in mid 2004. I sold my Stanchart Shares and KCB shares a year later to buy my first car only for the shares to double in value two months later. Had I held I would have made my first Mili then.
my best decision is to hold on to ARM bought then at 16.5 today I am about 800% up over a six year period. This changed my perspective on a lot of things - long term the NSE is a gem - where else do you get that kind of return. Na bado sijafactor in the consistent dividends that have covered about 80% of my innitial cost outlay.

I believe everyone has a story - lets tell it here!

Noted & fixed!
Whats Your?

@shauri i don't see how selling shares to buy a car can be a worst mistake. In any case the number of people who have successfully timed the market is very small. I guess my worst was dealing with a broke broker, lost me some chums, about 20k which was lots of money for me then.

My worst was investing heavely in Unga at 22, now trading at 12, no dividends for about 5years.

actually, my worst mistake was one time I placed a safaricom order without putting a price limit,..it was bought at 8 bob and then after 2 days it dropped to about 6.5...Thanx God to Cost averaging and long term focus, I have been able to bring this price to 4.80..
