Precisely. Short-selling is founded on borrowing/loaning STOCK.

One sells shares that he does not actually own and by doing this one makes money when the prices go lower. This does not happen at the NSE brothers. African parents don't know how to say sorry.. the closest you will get to a sorry is a 'have you eaten'

Going by what you just said, it means the market will not recover until after the next general elections. This simply means that the thing has not yet bottomed out as most of us are feeling. I have just gone through the recent companies valuation, counter by counter. So far ALL COUNTERS ARE TRADING AT BOOK VALUE........most of them have had a reduction in their market capitalisation READ they have undergone some sort of devaluation. For me, it is not yet time for bargain hunting.........................

This is simply not true. The counters that trade below NBV are very much in the minority. E.g. In the Financials, the only counter that trades below its NBV is KenyaRe. murenj wrote:I have just gone through the recent companies valuation, counter by counter.

@Murenj, the fact that the market cap of a company has decreased actually demonstrates that its relative value has increased "ceteris paribus", not the other way round.
This is not to say that the drop in share values will not continue, so it may not yet be time to dip in headlong into the NSE. Nonetheless, it is instructive to note that the NSE does not dip continuosly, at least NOT FOR ALL COUNTERS. I am betting that along the way some savvy traders will still make money on short term reversals on selected counters. Watch this space!

it is a market for the savvy. unlike the beginning of the year when a number of counters were bellow book value, this time, there is none. Equity closed the week with a slight dip bellow book value. The market will continue to drop up to 3000 -3500 point index. Then the likes of murenj will afford to romp in

My gut feeling gives the following prices as the floor after which the market should experience a huge rally upwards.Saf@2 ,Kcb@15,Ekwity@15.5,Kplc@16,KK@8.Guys keep ur eyes open and your cash liquid and when you see the above prices you know its time.Am yet to have a feel of the target 20share index but below 3000 is most probable.Its only the patient who are gonna reap big here.Keep your fingers crossed!Any technical analyst to rubber stamp this?
