BTW... Olympia AGM at Nairobi Club at Nooon on Aug 5
Thanks, but will pass on Olympia, waiting for next week which has more meetings
Quite insightful, i must say!
Though i'd love to hear some info or your view on HFCK.
Everyone keeps on talking about Equity's IPO- does anybody have an Estimated Time of Arrival? T'would be nice to be strategically placed when the IPO kicks off, wouldn't it?
Will write more on HFCK later.
But Equity's mystery IPO is due on the NSE in October this year, while Kengen is expected around February '06.
Between equity and kengen, which has more potential long term in terms of value? especially if am not for speculating but looking for long term value?
