Yes. You read that right.
Before I tell you how I lost money in just 3 minutes of being a stock investor, let’s set the context.
Ziidi Trader is LIVE.
The disruptor of the Kenyan stock market landscape.
The app that will give stockbrokers sleepless nights as they try to catch up.
A stock market platform now accessible to millions of Kenyans—with no hustle.
No complicated processes.
Just click, accept the terms, and you’re in.
Now, back to how I lost my money.
The moment I saw the app was live, I wanted to test it.
How efficient is it?
How fast is execution?
What does the real experience feel like?
So I made my first trial buy.
My target?
The mother company — Safaricom.
My thinking was simple and human:
The market might receive this app positively, which could push Safaricom’s stock price higher.
That’s my theory — not financial advice.
So I went in.
I bought 220 shares worth KSh 7,146.19, at KSh 32.48 per share.
An hour later…
My portfolio read: KSh 6,921.20
That’s KSh 31.46 per share.
Loss: KSh 224.99.
Gone.
Just like that.
And here’s the lesson.
The stock market demands soberness and patience.
It is not a get-rich-quick scheme.
It requires:
- Strategy
- Proper stock analysis
- Emotional discipline
- Zero impulsive buying
So, stock market gurus…
Where did I go wrong?
Guys…
Come comfort me.
But I’m not giving up. I still believe Safaricom shares will go up.
Go and check out the Ziidi Trader.
