On KQ i will be looking at 2 things tomorrow.

1. Operating profit
2. Overheads

If any of those blow in our face i will sale without a blink cause it will show that management is struggling to drive the plane.

LOL... True... Whereas, I believe KQ will have a great 2H, I need cash for KPLC Rights too!

I am watching and while I like the fact that I will be able to get some more today at 43 or below.

All the same, I am wondering... Over 1/2 a million shares being offered at Kshs 44. What do these guys know that I do not?

Anyhow, in for a penny, in for a pound. Today, I will purchase the last lot that I need to get to my target. This will bring my stake in KQ to roughly 15% of my portfolio. Let's see whether I will be crying tomorrow!

@ProverB, I think you and I have been together on our emphasis on operating profits. I have even gone ahead to give my projection on what I think the figure will be for H1. As for the overheads that is anyone's guess.

We will now know tomorrow.

well, i have heard it being said..that fortune will always favor the bold. smile All the best. 15% dedicated to KQ? wow.

i will stay on financials..for KQ..i'm not convinced. may be speculative purposes once news is out..i'd rather miss out.

ProverB, Over 50% of my portfolio is in Financials, so I needed some other avenue to balance my portfolio. Most of my KQs are recent buys. I also hold KK and KPLC as my core Industrial Holdings. I hold a few other stocks, which some may consider outlandish such as Agriculturals.

At the moment, I feel I am a little over diversified. I am therefore looking to trim the portfolio a bit.
