Different strokes to different folks madam @wendz and dear @Pkoli.
My investment objective in your NSE is income and therefore whatever dividend that is declared is more important to me than the lateral growth of the stock.
Be aware I am a non resident investor and I am not all that young as my name portrays coupled with my recent deep exposure to real estate as a leverage and other markets. Investing on the long term in African markets is the best approach from my point of view. That not witstanding I speculate on foreign (Outside Africa) stocks but purely on Resource counters (Gold and Oil) which is very factual and more predictable.
You may be younger, you may not have all the exposure that I have so it is easy to concentrate on your local bourse and a handful of others.
The confusion in BAMB for now opens a buying opportunity for long termers. BAMB returned a total dividend of 8.25 bob on 168 bob price. ARM returned 1.25 bob on circa 170 price. For long termers BAMB is better for those for capital gain, ARM is superb. Hope you are aware that BAMB returned lower PBT than previous year !
Yes Total is dull for my liking. I do not hold any position in Total.
I disagree with you on BBK. Ask those who bought say 100 units of BBK in 2001 what multiples it has grown in terms of bonuses, splits and dividends.
