Just like there are paper engineers who are so good at talking about the laws of physics and Isaac Newton's gravitational applications but can't do anything when you take them to a real science laboratory, I have realized this forum has a majority of such characters. They are very good investors in this forum, but that's the farthest they ever get. Probably don't even have CDS accounts to begin with. If you follow discussions here keenly it comes out that even the so-called "Elders" have earned the titles not because of their investment wisdom, but more from their age in Wazua.

The latest discussion on effects of the Banking Amendment Bill 2015 and how it has caused a hemorrhage on banking stocks is a good one that has exposed these "investors'" naivety as far as the stock market goes. Inasmuch as this group comprises of long term, short term and speculative investors, I think for the health of the discussions we need to focus more on the fundamental formations of companies and their effects to investors in the long term instead of analyzing daily stock performances. Prices come down, and go up...nobody knows what bills will be signed into law tomorrow or next month or next year; we can only speculate on such. But one thing is for sure; companies with solid fundamentals will most likely weather storms and soldier on and will still be here.

So guys running around peddling panic and fear just because Uhuru signed a bill into law please note that 5yrs from now these banks will still be here, and the share prices will still be going up and down and so if the best you can do at the moment is whine about share price drops, you should consider giving your portfolio to someone else to manage it for you because you don't know what you're doing.

If I may rephrase this correctly; you guys whining about low share prices...you were ready to buy Equity at Ksh. 39, KCB at Ksh. 33, HFCK at Ksh. 20 etc. but now Mr. Market is giving them to you at prices 20% lower and all you can do is whine about low prices? Gerrarahia!

So what's the point of this thread?

I finally took the plunge yesterday after I managed to figure out that I have cash I could access. A lot of phone calls, visits and cajoling! Now to reap the dividends. Literally.

Obviously this bank story will end up as the most emotional story on wazua in 2016.

This bear is getting the best of some of us

Very true. This is the second thread of an emotional reaction to the bear. And numerous other posts.

These are the days I miss mnandii .he would talk of how emotions are getting best of us .

Now people will talk and whether they invest or not it's not anyone's business, they are lying to themselves .
So as a reader of wazua I don't think anyone's forces anyone to be real or fake .it's a personal decision. We shouldn't be emotional on people who are fake by what they post. It's upon us to make the right judgement. If not pleased with anything then it's your prerogative to be silent and watch over the fence.

I personally know some wazuans who have stocks worth a "wow" and they don't say anything and I know some who have "wow" stocks and say alot also.

Be a spectator and don't be emotional on any idea or post written by anybody

I personally love member .think of adding some more

Indeed.. I couldn't have said it better. Speculative traders must not be called investors. Current prices are God sent
