First time; soon after high school got 15k bonus at work, me goes to Suntra opens a nominee account n says, i want to buy shares, "Which ones?" "I don't know", I said "what do you recommend?" Stanchart, they says to me. Me says, ok duc, Stanchart it is. Only thing I knew about investing then was that it was the coolest thing to do after reading The Life and Times of Sir James Goldsmith.

Worst; Buying sizable Olympia at 14.60 after listening to VVS n Tusker Baridi, lol!

Best; huge chunk of KenGen IPO @11.90 out @34 n great dividends in less than 2yrs.

Regret; not buying huge chunks of safcom @2.50 or Mumias @3.

I got into NSE during the kengen's ipo and exited @ Ksh 32 then went into paka Ipo and exited @ ksh 17. I moved on to Stanbic Ug and exited @ Ksh 4.2. My worst mistake was getting into access in 2008 @ ksh 35 and exiting @ Ksh 21 shouldering a @25% loss but i got into equity bank @ Ksh 16 with the proceeds and currently i've recovered the loss. I'm now cautious and thorough before getting into any counter.

Worst mistake:buying MSC last year October at 6.90 and then sell a month later at 6.10...well 2 month later it was trading at 12.50 and at Stockmaster made a fortune...buying Kenya Re at 13 bob only to sell at 12 bob....

Best decision:buying CFC @ 43 bob in April...well 2 month later i was up 60+%...

@2012

Hehehehe, weeee wacha kucheka...lol, Matu, KCB n EACB have lost me 40k, 30k n 25k respectively...that's no small money for me! My only consolation is that VVS possibly lost much more at Matu's (Lol) iiiiiiiiii.. .scheisse

@VVS i think you would bring the house down on the directors if you attended an olympia AGM
