Some are try to average down this stock. But it may just be time to cut down losses. Sentimentalism on this counter is counterproductive.

For those of us who bought at 9 we are still in the green, i wouldnt mind it coming back for a reload. The concluded rally was a sign of things to come The investor's chief problem - and even his worst enemy - is likely to be himself

@F0siemo. Really a bank account? Interest rates of 5-7% per annum , versus a stock making say 20-30% per annum . please watch what you say, so that people dont stop taking you seriously. The investor's chief problem - and even his worst enemy - is likely to be himself

Those 20-30% projections rarely materialize.

Those 20-30% projections rarely materialize. You are joking....we do 50-100% here...stick around and learn...btwn KenGen dividend yield is more than Av savings rate out there...so just through the dividends you beat a savings account...do you think that way?

@Aguy, don't tell me you have been taking seriously a person who registers 3 wazua profiles (FOsiemo, jandrea and sisqo), and is claiming CIC is the 3rd biggest stock in terms of Market Capitalization. Receive with simplicity everything that happens to you.” ― Rashi
