@Mukiha,me too,but i go a step further and arrange the companies in alphabetic order. The closer to 'A' the more money i put in

@The general and @mukiha: name-based 'analysis methods' are like sooo 70s. Practical guys from the 8-4-4 era like myself construct 'picky-picky-ponky' charts......

@Caesar

You may find many people who invest in NSE do not do those technical analysis of the shares for one major reason (among others) - investor ignorance.

When NSE started admitting mama wambui,wa otieno from Ukulima market,and the John's,Rachel's of the corporate and civil service world who have no sligtest idea of how to invest in shares but want to be in it for fashion,thats when numbers started going hy-wire(sp). You find many emotional investors who will sell for any slightest rumor hence,if you are a speculator guru in stocks,you find you got to move with the market asmuch as it might not be making sense to buy,you cash in as people start spoiling for a dying horse so that you can sell it when everyone is jumping in.... Ordinarily,you wouldnt have bought such.... even for speculation because,if everyone knew the state of the company,no one would touch it. Thats not to say that everyone does it,but sometimes,even with your numbers,you find the market doesnt make sense - may be the reason why we may not be ready for sophisticated financial products.... emotions,emotions..... not numbers - alot of the times,rule. Thats my observation but stand corrected..

Some deals are like glass. Sometimes it's better to leave them broken than try to hurt yourself putting it back together.

@ General: nowhere in the Tony Oz book does he say you can analyze stocks in Kiswahili. At CDSC we dont even store your shares in Kiswahili. nini mbaya na wewe?

@ Wendz,

You wouldn't buy KCB simply because you like the color green? get serious..

Colour schemes and logos are weak. I stick to good strong names! Something like CMC - very strong and solid,and heck,it's got two of my initials!

A strong name makes for a strong company.

@Wendz: the problem with advert characters is that they don't work for the company they advertise. I would recommend you visit their branches and see if you can find some handsome (talk & dark) young guys working there....if there are,then I will back your investment in the company

I used to do that (but looking out for girls instead of boys!!) and it paid back handsome....bought KQ at 7.35 and off-loaded at 120!! Thanks to beautiful girls!!

Behind the gardens...Behind the wall...Under the tree (Including: Red...Dark Blue...Yellow)
Nothing is real unless it can be named; nothing has value unless it can be sold; money is worthless unless you spend it.

'I mean fundamental analysis,you get me? Fundamental analysis of a business involves analyzing its financial statements and health,its management and competitive advantages,and its competitors'

Fudaah's interesting signature

I had talked to one of my rich friend who thought that buying shares was like buying land. That the share certificate was like a holding a titledeed. He gravitated towards big names,Kenya airways,NIC,Barclays. and was in love with his stocks. He did not see the opportunities in Equiy Bank even after observing long lines outside banks.

How come companies with unlimited backlog of future demand for products ie Kengen,and Express Kenya. prices are still beaten down?
