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.

4 me i put all my money into stock . I'd rather go hungry and live im a one roomd shack but when i wake up everyday i get to c my stocks go up in prices b'coz that price movement is sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeee t. @2010 u feel me .

@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.

@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?
