Tuko pamoja huko, even madam guru is there these days she's preaching. Its really dry kipande hii, i read your comment a few hrs ago and its still the treading topic

That we can have a bear run within 1 yr from a General Election shows how badly unprepared Uhuruto were for running the government.
The key economic issues are GoK finances, hidden inflation, high bank lending rates, the banking forbearance of 2011/12 which has stifled lending and related corruption/insecurity.
GoK can definitely do something about 4 of the above. When? I don' know.
In the meantime, I think Q1 earnings releases will be crucial directionally for the NSE to get anywhere near the 5000 mark which I don't it'll. Q2 earnings will tell us about the economy.
At the start of a bear run, you release gains and stay liquid to take advantage. In the bear run, you stay alert.

No More Rally in Stocks after FY

It seems speculators have been hit hard as the stocks are not rallying up after closing the final year results. Speculators buy just before the Final Year ending by tracking dates and trying to create a demand when the stock announces good returns , dividends and bonuses. The companies are now giving them a drag after they try to put a book closure period of 2-4 months thus tying the speculators. For example COOP Bnk stock has not risen after a dividend and bonus. Those who want to buy assume the price will come back to 18 after bonus shares start trading hence they can wait.Others who wanted to sell assume a rally will occur near the end of book closure and is worth to wait as it may touch 24-27 Kes. Other examples are Sameer, KCB, Equity, etc

Feeling of de javu all over again like 2011
