@Kausha

Your date came and went but still nothing from olympia.

Off the top of my head,I thought companies must by law publish within 3 months,is olympia special or is the limit 4 months?

P/E of 17? But still,its price is historically quite low currently. A gamble,but life is a gamble.

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.

Slykat-verily I say unto thee,forsake Olympia and go forth unto Mumias. For it is better for a man like thee to lose thine socks,than to lose thine shoes as well.

Fie! I must hie myself to the broker! Be it too late? But alas,this gnawing gut feeling. Mumias hath killed me once,shall I embrace her once more? Asi!

For it is better for a man like thee to lose thine socks,than to lose thine shoes as well. Wololo yahye. nimepasua.
