Failure to buy eabl pre split @79 bob and i had 50k then...was misled into buying a junk plot..i later got fed up with the plot and asked for my money back, which the seller has been refunding in bits...
any way had i bought eabl then it would have gotten me 600 shares ,a bonus of 1:5 would have earned 120 shares giving a total of 720 shares,and with the split--would have become 3600 shares @ todays price of 181 would translate to 651000k..hapo nilitupa mbao zote.

this makes me very fearful whenever i think of plots.

Best Run: Buying KQ at 23.5 getting out at 59 for more than 150% gain. Using proceeds to buy MSC at 11.1 selling at 13.65 - 20% using money to buy KENOL at 84 to now - 20% gain. String of good luck.
Worst: Buying MSC at 60, selling it at 29 - even after I calculated its NAV at about 11 or so. Plain stupidos following the herd.

@cnn

Yes we do!!!

I am thinking ARM itself or am I married to ARM now that I am 840% up over six years and yet I refuse to shuka the bus.
if you look closely at the market then the potential in counters like - Safaricom, Kengen, Co-op, NIC, Scangroup.
If we are arround 8 years from now, find me and let's spend some of the money I will have made on these counters on some Tusker Malt baridi.....

@all - your thoughts.

Have u guys no faith in the new Centum strategy?

Centum just might soar between the 4th and 8th year from now if everything goes according to their strategic plan... and if they don't bite more than they can chew RVR-style.

qw, i agree that centum will realize great growth. But theirs is a 3 year strategy and getting in now is maybe a tad too early. Wouldn't you rather (as you have stated before) we double our money with the likes of mumias and some agricultural stocks? But evidence from this week, points that it doesn't matter which stocks you buy, everything is going UP UP UP! And qw, please revive the 'The following stocks will rise this week' thread. We also appreciate your aspect of t.a investing.

their new areas are private equity aka venture capital like the rvr and real estate. Watch out for action in energy like building and running power plants for kplc.

Guys trying to give ARM 8 yr outlook are very ambitious. How well they perform will largely depend on the impact of the cheap imports to their bottomline. More important, to me, is how the Tz plan perfroms; that will be a flagship unit for ARM. If the Tanzanians embrace cheap cement imports, then ARM will be in for a hige beating

@gatheuzi what is this undoing you are talking about??

worst mistakes..
Centum.. 4 years ago..don't remember price
KQ..refused to buy when it was 9bob..i had k in my pocket..just opened account at suntra.. later bought at 57.... sold at 77..watched it go to 126
KPLC..bought at 270...watched it fall to 140.
Jubilee..bough at 305...sold off at 250..
a mix of stocks in 2007...at pick of bull..sold entire portfolio..lost about 42%..some blunders still hurt to date..like ARM, stanchart, Access (35..stupidity at its best)

became smarter of course..learnt to spread buy..and made notes of every single thread stockmaster, MainaT, Guru, and Mukiha. some dud called "mc kende siafu" and VVS(on kq)..n njunge on mumias..and read some more..and more..

learnt of cost averaging..

Result..(best investment decisions) have
coop pre IPO
KQ (average price 32)
Mumias (average price 8.50)
BBK (ave price 48)
HFCK (ave price 19)
Kengen ..best bet.. whole bunch at 12.00!!!!
Equity..(ave price 17)
NIC..36
...
some how not trigger happy to trade..and not particular happy when a stock goes up bila explanation..especially fundamentally...meaning exits from NBK,KCB forced by managemnt playing with share register..bonus/rights/split sway valuation more to investor greed than fundamentals..
KQ exit on going.. coz i hate Naikuni..

opprtunity missed..cfc.. no matter Mukiha's thoughts on it..this is the one counter i didn't agree with him..and i let it go.. not sorry though..atleast i've learnt to keep emotions out..

hope stocksmaster does not invoice me for consultation!

think he is more focused here...
