My 2 cents		#12 Posted : Friday, September 03, 2010 2:53:42 PM
Rank: Veteran Joined: 6/2/2010 Posts: 1,090		A share consolidation of 1:10 would raise the dividend to 2/= per share. Safcom should consider consolidation.

The problem is it has not compensated those investors who went during the IPO. Stagnant at the neighbourhood of 5 bob. Safaricom is not an NGO why should it compensate its shareholders for the slow share appreciation. Come to think of it if for instance safaricom was to give a 0.50c per share as dividends all its profit for the year would be wiped out and still borrow to service the dividends.

I hope people pumped some sense to management that they will be thinking in this direction am reminded though that this move is not support by law so someone should be pushed to work on it

I was only expressing frustrations of shareholders. Was not saying they should pay high dividends. I am a believer of capital gains growth in the share, not so much on dividends. That is why I like ARM

Safcom should consider consolidation. thats really 2 cents worth like your name. Even if they consolidate 1:1000 there is zero effect on dividend yield. Life is short. Live passionately.

Sparkly could be right in a sense. consolidation will reduce free float and hence stabilize the price. Shares like ARM do not have high free float and hence the price is fairly stable, usually on the upper side. Even banks like Coop and Equity have less free float than KCB and hence they tend trade at a higher price

Jamaa buys 1,000 shares @ 5/- & expects to be fed (200/-), given freebies like T-shirts (200/-), wants a nive venue (50/- pp) & a 1/- dividend (500/-) Kwani??? That is 950/- which is 19% ROI... Go invest in Sasanet... Greedy when others are fearful. Very fearful when others are greedy - *to paraphrase Warren Buffett*

(Big fishing eating the small). I believe part of this is what pushed KQ share price to where it is. Only the small that are not hypersensitive should be left to stand and this will push the price north or stablise it
