But here is the bigger lesson…
On 1st April, this portfolio was down Ksh 8,625.16.
Five months later, it is up almost Ksh 15,000.
Imagine if I had panicked and sold!
This is where many investors lose the game.
They become excited when prices rise…
And fearful when quality companies become cheaper.
I look at it differently.
When quality companies become cheaper, I become more interested, not more afraid.
The stock market rewards patience, discipline and a clear strategy.
If your goal is capital gains:
- Know your entry price.
- Know your target price.
- Stick to your investment thesis.
If your goal is dividend income:
- Buy quality companies.
- Reinvest your dividends.
- Give compounding time to work.
Daily Price Movements Are Temporary.
Great businesses can create wealth over decades, not days.
