I have KPLC shares. KPLC is not a good idea for now because government involvement makes it susceptible to the politician's street pronouncements. An example is the recent attack on the price of power by the DP Ruto which saw the stock tumble to a new low.

BBI will solve it :)

I've just exited KPLC. I hope I don't have to regret it and have to post it as 'What was my worst mistake in trading' on a different thread here months later

Just grown really frustrated with it and looking to buy in a counter that reflects my expectation.

Believe me you will.

If it were me I would be adding more (anyway that's what am doing).

But if it's a cash emergency that came up, you don't have to regret, you live to fight another day!

This behaviour of buying stocks with your "grocery money" will make broke very fast.

I always buy stocks with my "idle" money so as to avoid these kind of scenarios.

Hahaha, too funny! I'm still sitting pretty with KPLC, managed to average down to the current prices up from 21.50 during rights.

What a pity! This is a sideways market and it usually does squeeze.
