Wanted

A breakdown on all NSE share splits from 2000, with dates and split prices

Things we don’t have in Kenya but may be nice to have at the NSE
- Short selling; there are some stocks I’d love to short
- Automatic Dividend reinvestment programs (DRIP’s), why don’t more companies push for these as they push for ESOP’s?
- Share buy back programs: someone to buy my Uchumi?

Things that should go away
- Cum dividend: It is criminal that a company can declare a dividend in January to pay in June. Declare a dividend, close the books within a month and pay the day after the AGM please.

KenyaRe is going to pay dividend 30 Sept 2008 for fiscal year 2007, that a good 9 months after year end.
I also completely agree about buy back. Overall your suggestion are great, but CMA & NSE are not ready to adapt. If they do NSE can go places as tranparenty is key for investors.

Dear all,

I can buy uchumi shares at 0.1 cents each.

Serious offer. Hollar back if you're selling.

:-)

Hi Great idea aboout DRIPs- is it that the regulatory bodies are sleeping. Sharesa re the hceapest way a firm can raise money, so why not allow the company to keep a reinvestment fund for those who want to re-invest. this is a better idea than firms claiming dividnds not cashed/ claimed in six months? why has CMA not reigned them on this. any information on this scam to milk investors?
