I seem to remember a lady putting in ksh 1M in KPLC just before 2002 elections at Shah Munge at ksh 9/- a share (pre-split, pre-rights). Big risk, humongous rewards.

If you want to invest in a single stock you can try British American Tobacco. Your money will be safe and you will also receive a fat dividend cheque every year.

If you are in for capital gains then you have to be a risk taker....you can invest in sectors like Mumias,Access,Car and General,Crown berger,CMC,KQ.

Scratch all these except for Mumias & KQ. The others have all been on a downward trend. Other than C & G they will continue sleepwalking. As for C&G, its way too illiquid to be bothered about.

I would also say; wait for the banks to tank further and buy into any of KCB (-20), Coop(-13), NIC (-33) or Equity (-20). NIC @ below 33 would be my pick.

@ Renegade - some of the prices you are predicting like KCB and EQUITY below 20/-,NIC below 33/- are just too good to say but in reality it might not happen.BTW sometimes illiquid counters do make money in the long term.
