Over 500,000 Safaricom investors will use this basic strategy:

1. Get a loan (10-20,000bob)
2. Go to the brokers and get 2 printed copies of the prospectus (DO NOT READ IT).
3. Buy safcom shares.
4. Go home and give one prospectus to the cildren to play with.
5. Display the other prospectus prominently in your living room - where guests can see it (mimi ni ndume!).

i would think that its also a good time to bottom out on most other counters like MSC, KPLC, KCB etc in case you are holding those. you will notice that MSC volumes are constantly up even though the price is on a downward trend.

am happy with renewed interest in stock market, fraud of stockbrokers notwithstanding. However another thing that must happen for us to experience a new bull

Banks do not put all your eggs in one basket, pliz consider alternatives where you could still make decent returns. Talk of the town is how everyone is trying to leverage their little money, and am really concerned about all that credit that is being unleashed by banks through loans. With inflation being as high as it is currently, will CBK make a decent job of mopping up excess liquidity? All

I bet you could find a golfing quartet of CEOs and their pals who made miraculous last-minute exits from Uchumi!

Coldtusker: Should be PLC I believe

Mashatall: Nothing interests me now except the Safcom cult

Propaganda: We have a grassy knoll situation. Were there two CEO's?

Concept Advisory: I think the drop was in January/Feb and the market bottomed out then

MainaT: I would not be satisfied with 40% (or 35%). Mobitelea is ahot potato, but the 'owners' could have sold

VBanks-yes I think Vodafone will buy up more shares via one of their fund managers. However, the question is will Mobitelea sell theirs when the 3month lock-in expires?

CT-same question I had. BBK as far as I know is a Kenyan-only entity.
Mashatall-chase dividend payers.

Have you all noticed that other shares have not 'fallen' as expected?
Does this portray a change in the average investor psyche?
Considering that the IPO will be oversubscribed its only prudent to look into the other counters and i support hisa net list

If the CEO you are talking about in the Uchumi saga is Terry Davidson (then at KCB, which was one of Uchumi's largest creditors), then it is not an urban legend -- it is confirmed fact.

Good question coldtusker, am interested in buying counters that will show a good appreciation post Safcom IPO. Any suggestions Banks/Bloggers? Trying to churn my cash short term and not interested in long term investments.

Is it BBK thats going into Rwanda or a subsidiary of Barclays PLC or ABSA?
