    Looks like this piece of 🗑️ was overvalued. Never touching 20 or attempting to go beyond 20!

    Bought my shares at 28kshs and now we have been on low for a long time. Any hopes or guidance?

      I bought mine around the same amount and am holding.
      We have very big sell offs from 2022 from an American investor.
      Hopefully, this will subside and allow the prices to stabilize.

    Why is this share price trailing her peers? Most of the counters have been bullish but Scom has stagnated @ 15. Today the company has announced over 10 per cent increase in profit yet the share has continued to dip. what could be the reason?

      Hello. The best investment is one that matches your investment goals. When the economy is in a recession or recovering from one, this is the best time to invest as most businesses are undervalued and stock prices tend to be on a downward trajectory due to panic sales by uninformed investors.
