Kahuna wrote:@VVS and other market gurus, how does a novice like myself strike a balance between the good news on this counter and the current Sentiments towards equities ? Is there a possibility that the market will overact in the short term leading to a short lived spike then return to normal inline with the bear market ? Which would mean that we should wait before boarding. Market timing is not a skill I have. If it looks good/cheap I buy. If you buy today, you are buying for 2018. Greedy when others are fearful. Very fearful when others are greedy - to paraphrase Warren Buffett

The bear respects no one and has no feelings. If safaricom a company that makes 30bn per year is getting a beating what about KK. Everything will come down. To avoid timing the market come up with a price range and when its breached start buying and dont look back. The investor's chief problem - and even his worst enemy - is likely to be himself

If you have KShs 50k to invest in the share, start by investing KShs 10k now then another KShs 10k after a month... Life is short. Live passionately.

Had always been worried about knowing when to board and from what I gather, there is no perfect time. I have therefore resolved to make multiple orders at different prices not only on this counter but in other few counters that I am interested in.

If you think about it, on the graph there is the down wave and the up wave. getting the bottom is near impossible, so this can help one scoop on the way down and on the way up.

Everyone would love getting in at the bottom but it is quite difficult. Same goes for exiting, everyone wants to exit at the top, again quite difficult. Do your homework, make your picks and arrive at a target. Buy when targets are met make sure you also set sell targets and sell when they are met. Take the gains and do not be too hard on yourself for being off the bottom or top.

I have noticed that huge volume transactions have been happening here seconds before closing setting new lows. Who is exiting quietly?

Last year I lost opportunities worthy kes 5m because of being too hard to sell after atleast 20%rise in profit. I am changed now want to pick the pieces and rise again.

That is the spirit, do not stay down. Pick up the pieces and rise again. By the way, we all have missed opportunities. No one should claim they have a perfect score on all opportunities. Just learn from the your experiences and press on.
