Bought mumias at 4.5 on hopes of play to recovery.
Lesson learnt, wait for something proven on a company and not just based on promises

I bought MSC @ 4.50 my teacher's strong recommendation; ulcers I sold @ 3.50, strive to be better than your teacher who may not be at per with current matters, I spread the loss into my 3 other stocks I had one of them KQ & left Unga nyinyi manajua what is. I should have heed to nearly all wazuans call or better still put the money in www.winda.co.ke so that if it fails I blame the investor not myself. Fearful when others are greedy must apply to co. whose fundamentals are good!! Haha hehe @obiero Hiyo ni sales nipewe commission yangu ASAP

Bought 5,000 Kenya Finance shares when the price dropped from 18 to 12. But the bigger mistake was to convince two of my friends to invest in the same stock. Less than a year later,the bank collapsed!

My friends still remained,one eventually agreed to marry me!

So the mistake was marrying her? Jk

Mine was to miss out on Equity IPO, i delayed sending the chumes back then. Then i watched the shares panda mpaka split. I got in after split, but wish i sent the monies during the IPO. I saw the same for EACBLS when they fikad sijui 600 and split, i got in and bought @ 50 thinking it was going to rally again we all know where it is right now. Been trying to buy at current price hoping to recoup when they go up kidogo.

Equity Bank hit the market via introduction not IPO!

There's one thing about getting caught up in the moment and making rush decisions and then your broker fuels it.
Lesson learned; To know what not to invest in is as equally important. Glad not to have boarded the KQ bus

Worst mistakes i ever made in the NSE

1.Bought safcom during the IPO at 5 bob. sold at 2bob. look at it now at 12 smthng

2.Britam (britak) during ipo at 9 bob sold at 6/- its now at 21

3. WORST DECISION EVER buying Mumias at 3.75 and still holding on to it as it plummets to the ground. Im thinking i should bail at 2.7/- or i should follow the lessons i learnt the hard way ie. NEVER SELL AT A LOSS

Note to self.
Money comes and goes. When you have it enjoy it.
