Things are improving slowly.
As at 1st April 2026, I was down Ksh 8,625.16.
By 30th April 2026, the loss had reduced to Ksh 3,151.28.
Now, as at 10th June 2026, my portfolio is down Ksh 2,904.80.
That means the market has already recovered Ksh 5,720.36 from the lowest point.
Patience is working.
Current Portfolio Position
Here is the current position of the portfolio:
Total Investment: Ksh 100,005.50
Current Portfolio Value: Ksh 97,100.66
Current Paper Loss: Ksh 2,904.80
Now look at something important:
Stanbic Holdings is carrying this portfolio strongly with a gain of Ksh 2,800.
Safaricom has also turned green with a gain of Ksh 253.
KCB, Absa and Kenya Re are still under pressure—but recovery is gradually happening.
And this is exactly how long-term investing works.
The stock market is not a casino.
It is not a “buy today, panic tomorrow” game.
Real investing demands:
Patience
Emotional discipline
Strategic entry
Long-term thinking
Most people lose money not because they picked bad companies…
But because they lack patience.
You cannot invest for dividends while checking prices every 5 minutes.
You cannot build wealth while operating from panic.
The Long-Term Investing Mindset
If your goal is capital gains:
Define your exit price before entering.
If your goal is dividends:
Accumulate quality businesses and give them time.
Remember:
Short-term market movements are noise.
Long-term wealth creation is strategy.
