Before they get to us, they should ban the Kenyan Met department from forecasting rains or lack of them.
Gloomy forecasts, in whatever form affect the economy. If they say there will be poor rains, we begin to think about food production and electricity.
About how electricity costs will go up as KPLC resorts to thermal means of production (fuel)which is purchased by the almighty dollar..which we shall then hoard.
It also causes the government to start predicting shortfalls in food production (usually the cereal called maize) – leading to poorly though out solutions (e.g. allowing the importation of GMOs and creating opportunities for profiteering (e.g. the maize scandal

Then, when the Met department is wrong, the farmer looses big – imagine those tons of seed and fertilizer ($$$) buried in the soil waiting for rains that never come. The losses are usually HUGE. There’s even a time they tried to sue the met department

And while they're at it, lets ban freedom of information and freedom to express opinions. Better still, ban thinking.

Well wazuans are INDIVIDUALS whereas KK is apparently, a seasoned player in this fuel retailing business. With all the experience, resources, formulae on pump prices and etc; they STILL can't forecast retail prices for the current month....not even by a long shot!!! I know alot of you probably don't wanna hear the following, but if KK are soo poor at forecasting simple pump prices(again part of core business) then I would be worried about their "forecasts" of crude prices and the stocks they hold at these levels and the write downs they might have to do jes incase there is another crash in commodities. Remember, their business is extremely low margin, high turn (1.6% or thereabouts....correct me but I'm sure its no higher than 3%) and a small goof and that's it. Compare again to my favorite company, huge margin of safety even with a goof(carbacid---net margins consistently in excess of 40%).

@horton - Carbacid deals primarily with a single commodity. There is a fixed cost & a relatively small variable cost in production of CO2.

Plus I find Carbacid very pricey on a PER basis. Well run firm but the competitive moat will be eroded as others start producing CO2. I think the Sugar firms plan to do so.

As a shareholder of KK... I think I should suggest they get into this business as well. After all they are in LPG thus they have some experience in moving gas-liquids!

I understand Rwanda is producing Methane/CO2 & KK is quite large there. Thanks for the tip!

Dividend payments was to commence on 2nd-sept... has anyone gotten his/her's, especially those who filled out the shareholders option blah, blah, blah form???

I will be purchasing a new lot of KK immediately the dividend hits the account ,bear or no bear.That way @ 9 ,i will still be above water.
