Mukiha - absolutely brilliant reasoning. I might just add a lot of the shareholders who go for the AGM's expecting freebies are hardly interested in what is happening at their companies. Furthermore they get irritated when 'serious' shareholders 'waste' their time by keeping on asking questions and delaying their lunch. 'Smart' boards and Mgt ensure that they give a lot of freebies to keep such nosy shareholders from asking too many tough questions,as other shareholders start expressing their impatience. As for Scom,the market seems to be cheering their latest move. I do not usually speculate. But this time around I seem to have gotten in at just the right time. Kshs 3.05 on the prompt board for a substantial block last week. I will be cashing my cheque ny next week while the naysayers are still baying for MJ's blood.

Opportunity calls but few respond.

@kirethi;

In your opinion,how much should SCOM have paid and why?

Surely,with and EPS of 26cents,paying 10cents is very good indeed!! Don't forget that this is 40% of the profit!

Behind the gardens...Behind the wall...Under the tree (Including: Red...Dark Blue...Yellow)

@ muks VVS etc

You talk as if the 'big saving' by insulting and scrimping on shareholders will translate into more dividend for you. Shock Shock its still 10 cents

Thats why 800k shareholders need the 'freebies' to compensate for the dismal dividends and T shirt ya kufuta machozi

Surely the PR juggernaut could have found a better way to put its case across.
