Investors in selling mood ahead of Christmas

For the greater part of this last quarter of the year, share prices have been tumbling much to the detriment of investors who had taken positions on the local bourse.

The mainstream index DCI finished the week 0.92 percent softer at 7,820.41 points after recording losses on each trading day last week. Year-to-date, the DCI has slipped further into negative territory and is now down by 7.2 percent, while the FCI has plunged by 44.77 percent.
