    CARB plays a vital role in so many sectors of the economy, yet its performance in the NSE seems to lack lustre. What's the problem?

    🕯️ The Ghost at the Party: Know Your Exit Before You Enter

    In rumor-driven rallies, the biggest risk isn’t buying high — it’s event risk.
    When the deal collapses, the floor disappears.

    🎯 Rule #1: You’re Not Investing in the Deal — You’re Trading the Rumor

    Your profit comes from the expectation, not the execution.
    That means your exit must come before the rumor is confirmed or denied.
    You’re selling emotion — not fundamentals.

    🔁 The Rumor–Risk Loop

    1️⃣ Enter on the Rumor (The Spark):
    Buy early on credible whispers — before the story hits headlines.
    That’s where the risk/reward is best.

    2️⃣ Set Your Exit (The Lifeline):
    Decide before you buy:

    Sell when it hits your price target 🎯

    Or after X weeks if no announcement ⏳

    Or the moment the deal is confirmed 📰 (that’s usually the peak).

    3️⃣ Exit Before the Cliff (The Discipline):
    Lock in profit. Walk away.
    Deals can fail — or disappoint. Either way, you’re out before the hangover.

    💡 The Kenyan Market Psychology You Exploit

    In our market, rumors feel like prophecies.
    You’re selling to investors who believe the story is guaranteed.
    They stay for the party — you slip out before dawn.

    🧭 If You’re a Long-Term Investor...

    This still works for you.
    Use the rally to:

    Trim positions and take partial profits 💰

    Boost liquidity to buy back lower

    Reallocate to other undervalued counters

    That’s how seasoned investors turn market noise into opportunity — and volatility into flexibility.

    🕯️ The Lesson

    Be the ghost at the party.
    Arrive early, enjoy the buzz, and vanish before the host makes the announcement — or the cops show up.
    Leave the cleanup, the risk, and the regret to those who stayed too long.

    💬 Investor question:
    Would you trade the rumor — or ride the story?
