Yep,tiz a gamble. PE 17 being high coz of historically low Annual Earnings Per Share; latter being low coz of expensive debts and take-overs.
The gambiteering here is on the assumption that the debts have fallen n take-overs have stopped,n earnings from expansion,plus assumed increase in 2010 worldcup construction earnings. Now waiting for reality. May burn like I did from Mumias.
But this high risk gambit is limited in quantity and balanced by more rational holdings elsewhere. Also serves to satisfy risk appetite n silence the gut feeling - like mountaineering or rock climbing. Some peeps go to the casino. Am I the only irrational investor here or VituVingiSana tuko pamoja against the conventional currents on this one? Lol!
I suspect the quintessential analyst would not approve of my voodoo-nomics.
When buying shares,ask yourself,would you buy the whole company?
