@MwM, you have got a point there and many a time when I buy KQ, I keep asking myself why I am doing it. Part of the answer is due to the fact that most of what I own today is to a large part due to some moves I pulled on this stock (along with KK, ARM and MSC) which really paid off in a big way. So perhaps there is some sentimentality involved. I guess I have some blinkers on my eyes where KQ is involved.

Having recognised that, I will strive not to buy too much at once and limit it to no more than 10% of my portfolio by the time I am through buying. And whenever there is an upward spike, I will sell some to reduce my exposure.


Buying K.Q Should be like going to the market. After kununua unga ya sembe, Skuma wiki na Nyama, thats when you should start liiking for the royco. not the other way round. If your risk averse (esp beginner and low on cash) pick the less volatile stocks first, then consider the risky ones later. But thats just me

@mm. Thats is precisely my school of thought about averaging down. Individuals trying to average down on access kenya should take heed. The gains you will make in other counters will reduce the loss in the counter you want to average down on, its all your portfolio. But if u are convinced that the share will rise buy it, as a new investment decision, But not on the account of just averaging down alone.

Folks - Unless there is fundamentally something wrong with KQ, why worry about averaging down [or buying 'new' shares]?

Do not worry about averaging down [not a good idea] but look at the shares [& price] TODAY... Would you buy the shares today if you had NO shares?

In KQ's case... yes, I would!

I am big fan of averaging down on good companies. Thus, if KQ still makes sense to an investor then they should keep buying.

Correct me if I'm wrong, Ist Half 2011 results showed skewed results due to gains from hedging activities; an in the money gain pushed profits way up hence not impressed.

Can someone post Ethiopian Airlines results. I'd appreciate
