How much money do you put in stocks? Do you allocate an amount monthly/annually, do you put the excess or you have some sort of different working strategy?

• Would you take a loan if for example SCOM went down to 2/- and you had no money?

I put in a particular amount aside monthly for stocks. I then use this amount to invest according to a laid down strategy.
If safaricom went down to 2/- I think I would use a loan to take up the stock although this is not something I advise.

Now any excess amount from stocks I accumulate to invest in a riskier stock pick. I cash out when I hit my target and hunt for more bargains. My investment horizon is 1-5 years.

i put about 75% of my money in stocks but i do this quarterly and its only possible because i'm trained in stock trading and i'm not that old....

but unless you are a professional and know technical analysis never take a loan for stocks... because what if you took a loan to buy safcom at 2 bob and it fell and stuck at 50cents... i think we all know where you would be

@qw25041985,
You're a gambler. You do it for the rush and that's an addiction. Anyway I can bet that you'll be a very rich man in the next 10 if you continue that way just don't forget to spend before your offsprings squander everything since I can see that you're a miser too.

I agree. It depends on the market.
I allocate an amount annually and I rarely add any more cash into the market unless I spot a bargain.
If safaricom went to 2/- and there was nothing wrong with the fundamentals yes i would take out a loan and buy. If the business is good I want my share of it.

@twentytwelef
My income more or less comes like the rain; sometimes its a heavy downpour and sometimes its a drizzle.
My allocation to shares therefore varies with income. Anything I wont need in two months is put away in stocks. I have done that for a couple of years now and I have no regrets.
When we wake up in the morning, we have two simple choices. Go back to sleep and dream, or wake up and chase those dreams. The choice is yours! .

@The Merchant

Just got some cash and decided that twas enough to let it rot in the bank as I did since i was employed 2 years ago. Im still gathering data though. You talked about a plan. Maybe you could share a strategy that worked for you earlier, ama?

Just to comment on the loan issue, one can get a big push especially in market downturn. Personally I went for one last year and my picks have gained substantially.

A word of caution though:

1) Make sure u won't repay the loan from gains u make in the market coz this may take a looooong time.
2) Be careful of the picks u make - they must have a high potential for up turn.

Don't forget to shop for reasonable interest rates and your return must exceed these rates.
Time is money, so money is time. Money saved is time gained in reverse! Money stores your life’s energy. You expend your energy, get paid money, and store that money for a future purchase made in a currency.

Buy any stock with good fundamentals regardless of current trading status. Currently invested in 15 companies. Cash in, never ever, will let my 2 daughters decide when they hit 35yrs.

on that part i beg to differ, this is because you can buy into a good company judging by the fundamentals, yet the price set by "Mr. Market" is too high meaning the stock is overpriced. I believe the first question one should ask is, "is the stock fairly priced?"

@qw: I shall patiently ask you... Put your money where your mouth is...

@Stocksmaster has a very nice model to use that not only shows the trades he has made as well as the costs of each trade...

BUY, BUY, BUY sounds little better than a vuvuzela blown by someone who know not how to play it...

So we await... a record of your trades... They need not be historical but going forward... I am very curious to see if your methods will pan out in the long-term...

Everything else you say is pure theatrics similar to what our politicians use to blind us... Or are you simply pumping & dumping?

qw, your're joking. You're laughing at people who have shares in Total? That's nothing to laugh about.
VVS, don't hold your breath while waiting for qw to post his trades, dates and prices

I'm with Wa_ithaka! I only allocate money depending on the market. More in bears, less or none at all in bulls!
