You just have to look sometimes beyond some stocks and other cases outside local equity markets as well as alternative investments.<BR/><BR/>And again, a long term view is good. ARM has grown 600% since 2003 when I got it at 23 and it fell to 12 for 12 months before gradually gaining. <BR/><BR/>Some markets right now are doing superbly well like TZ's Tanga cement with good div payments as well as Kenya's construction Sector. Uganda has some potentials both in the Bond and equity market with stars like Bank of Baroda, New Vision, DFCU, Stanbic and Uganda clays. The Bond's in UG have int. of 11% upwards. Locally, try diversify to a group that is venturing into property.<BR/><BR/>So far, my average return despite all these has been a modest 8% this year. Nothing to boast about but the dividend including SACCO div (16k) hit a 28k for last year.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9317825.post-45937428662709245302008-08-11T08:37:00.000+03:002008-08-11T08:37:00.000+03:00Ssembonge: I have doubts about an ISP now with Saf...Ssembonge: I have doubts about an ISP now with Safaricom data moves and TEAMS on the horizon<BR/><BR/>Anon1: portfolio is an on-going disclosure thing and to asses portfolio net worth [far less than the millions you recommend]<BR/><BR/>Anon2: bubble warning here? <BR/><BR/>MainaT: I’m happy to have fewer shares to track now, but am down 6% in 3 months, while NSE20 is down 9% and down Nasi 8%bankelelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01180926084939364063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9317825.post-31507775911538909142008-08-11T08:04:00.000+03:002008-08-11T08:04:00.000+03:00That looks like a more managable portfolio althoug...That looks like a more managable portfolio although ScanGroup just doesn't get the positive press I think it should getting given the forthcoimg increase in advertising spend as Safcom and rivals start competing for subscribers.<BR/>KCB-very good stock but supply seems to be something Kenyans can't cope with just now so it'll not rise as fast as it should be doing.MainaThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12266497232119983697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9317825.post-7996042159544782352008-08-10T20:26:00.000+03:002008-08-10T20:26:00.000+03:00Someone bought Equity at 340Ouch!I remember seeing...Someone bought Equity at 340<BR/><BR/>Ouch!<BR/><BR/>I remember seeing some Bubble Warning on this blog.<BR/><BR/>:-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9317825.post-12849113381809165312008-08-10T18:48:00.000+03:002008-08-10T18:48:00.000+03:00zBanks..

Beware: this is what triggers emotional decisions...<BR/><BR/>Unles you have over 1M in each stock, there's a high likelihood that your stable is still diluted. Gains in one stock will be cancelled out by losses in another. <BR/><BR/>Currency fluctuations are another factor for Stanbic. Actual realisable value could be lower than you think.<BR/><BR/>Your exposure in Financial sector looks rather bold to me... e.g. How well do you know Diamond trust/KCB/Stanbic? it's business model? Risks?<BR/><BR/>What percentage of your total investment does each stock represent? How much would you gain if a single stock doubled? If less than 100k then your strategy is not growth oriented. <BR/><BR/>You are at a crossroad between a "stability" and a "growth" strategy... Perhaps it's time to make a difficult choice!<BR/><BR/>A moderately aggressive growth strategy would probably keep a max of 3 well-researched stocks.. perhaps one for each of the 3 industries (Finance/Services/ICT)..<BR/><BR/>But you got to have thick skin to avoid panicking when everyone else panics.. and a cool head to avoid stock "fads".<BR/><BR/>Disclaimer: This is purely personal opinion - not investment advice. You assume the risk for all your actions.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9317825.post-8824747728684196992008-08-10T02:22:00.000+03:002008-08-10T02:22:00.000+03:00How come you don't have Access Kenya?How come you don't have Access Kenya?The Black Mambahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13093261923557991519noreply@blogger.com
