I attended the Kakuzi AGM and a shareholder told me that he does not buy agricultural stocks like Kakuzi and Rea Vipingo for dividends or capital gains. I am sure he does not throw away the cheques.

He says he keeps these stocks just in case these companies begin to sub-divide the land in the future.

He says as shareholders,we shall be the first to get the acrage shares. Is this true?

I get it but what happens in the eventulity that the company does not wish to continue its operations. It has paid all its debts and has no more obligations but to shareholders?

Problem is... if the company does not cease operations within the guy's lifetime... Some companies just keep going on and on and on.... unaskia 300 year old company!!

The guy may never have schooled on stocks but very intelligent. He simply means he is part owner of the net asset base of the company,including land and tea bushes or sisal bushes. Besides,he is a farmer and can relate better with agri stocks? how would you explain Scan Group business to him? will he understand? certainly not. What pysical assets does scanG have?

...oh that shareholder guy is smart in eyeing the Kakuzi land...but he was beaten to it by the mzungu MD who I read in the papers sold one of the estates (the prime one!) to himself...leaving the other shareholders with a shell...miracles that profits continue to rise...corporate power asymmetry here is the problem

Playing the stock market without insider info...is like buying a cow in the moonlight.
