Bulls n Bears Thanks You as we turn 5 Years


Bulls n Bears turned 5 years on 1 November 2012. That marked 5 years since the first bulletin of the Bulls n Bears Investor Notebook was sent out to then very few subscribers.

The early months of Bulls n Bears…

Bulls n Bears is grateful to the likes of then Interfin Banking Corporation Marketing Manager, Tendai Gwatiringa who believed in the service that we were offering and made Interfin our first client.

Also in the early days was Europcar, the car rental service. Mike Rooney supported us through one of the most difficult phases in the economic history of this country: 2008.

Bulls n Bears also pays tribute to Tawanda Nyambirai of TN Holdings who had to “literally” direct his marketing team to give us an advert when very few could appreciate the impact of email market.

We cannot forget John Dennis of Shades Ahead, the tent, carports and associated services provider based in Msasa. John or JD as he is affectionately known was the first client to pay with Redan fuel coupons when we couldn’t burn the Z$ anymore.

Many other clients have since come on board either perpetually or as and when the marketing budgets permit.

Bulls n Bears is still intrigued that despite the fact that products are used/ bought by consumers, most corporates still cut the marketing spend budget first when it comes to rightsizing and rationalizing operations.

Luckily for most marketing teams, we have structured one of the least cost targeted marketing solution.


It couldn't have been wonderful without you readers…

Bulls n Bears enjoys all the feedback that we get, either lambasting poor quality articles, jumbled up ZSE Price Sheets, Financial Markets Updates not properly updated or just engaging on further debates.

Bulls n Bears knows that an article was good when Tony Fisher responds.

Many other subscribers whom we cannot single out by name have taken time to call us, email us, engage with us on Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn amongst many other platforms of communication.

We truly value the fact that some of you have taken the initiative to improve the financial intelligence of your colleagues through forwarding them our newsletter or just encouraging them to subscribe or in some instances even subscribe on their behalf.

It would be inadequate not to mention the super effort put in by our team, some of whom work odd hours to ensure that you get the financial and business information.

It is actually correct that if you get that Investor Notebook with a sent time of 0254hrs, someone would have been awake to make sure the newsletter is sent on the appointed day.

Where are we now?

Those of you who were the pioneering subscribers will remember very well the metamorphosis that we have gone through from initial two products viz Bulls n Bears Investor Notebook and Bulls n Bears Investor Website (www.bulls.co.zw) to the current scenario where we now have a product portfolio listed below:-

a)            Bulls n Bears Investor Notebook
b)            Bulls n Bears Financial Markets Update
c)            Bulls n Bears Daily ZSE Price Sheet
d)            Bullish Thoughts
e)            Diamonds & Dogs
f)             Bulls n Bears Zimbabwe blog (www.bullsnbearszimbabwe.blogspot.com)
g)            Bulls n Bears Investor Website (www.bulls.co.zw)

Most of these products came about as a result of your feedback and for that we are grateful for you also helped us grow.

Where are we going?

Firstly we hope to improve the quality of the content we sent to you and make it more relevant despite the jurisdiction you are operating.

We will be introducing more exciting products as we hit 2013 that will definitely inspire you to start saving some funds, either on the stock market or money market or even inspire you to start your own business.

Lastly, we encourage you to invite the Lord in both your spiritual & financial life. David says in Psalms: “Unless the LORD builds the house, its builders labor in vain. Unless the LORD watches over the city, the watchmen stand guard in vain.”

We implore you to make a difference today: Invite 5 people to join Bulls n Bears by subscribing through bulls@bulls.co.zw  or bulsl@faithcapitalcorp.com.


Who are we?

Bulls n Bears had begun to take it for granted that subscribers understood us. There is no harm in us recapping for you.

Summarily we aggregate financial and business news and financial statistics and deliver them to you in a cleaner format so that you don’t have to waste the whole day on the humongous web pages out there. We can do it for you and for free too.

We cover purely business issues. We are apolitical but here and there you may find business articles with political connotations but only so far as to further widen the political economy debate or just to help us all decompress after a busy day at the office.

So feel safe…if you come on our platforms, you are never going to be linked with any political party, a development which would otherwise compromise on your brand and service delivery.

How do you benefit…

You benefit from Bulls n Bears through the financial information. Furthermore you can also benefit by exploiting our various Internet and Email platforms to connect with your target market at cost effective rates. Connecting to your customer world has never been this easy and cheap! So go ahead and click here and we will partner you into the future.

Do not forget to join the fight against cancer as you Invest Wisely!

Kind regards
Bulls n Bears Team
