I am flabbergasted. Too much, too fast, too soon.
Britam - I decided to bail out on Britam (which I like) when prices hit 13... then out 99% at 15 but now it is 16.90 when the NAV is 10-ish.
KQ - I think we need to see the Operational Profits. They may have made money of hedges [oil prices are falling] but this is very complex and dynamic. I do not know how to price them with the limited info shareholders are given. I bailed ages ago at 13.70 during/after the Rights.
I&M - I am staying in. A poor 1Q but prudent loan growth with lower than average NPLs in 3Q 2013, Capital Raising to expand local business and expected opening in Uganda in 2014, Subsidiaries are kicking in, etc.
HFCK - At 30, I am in but worried about NPLs though recovery rates are good just takes years through the courts. The new land laws worry me.
Equity - I like them at this price but NO MORE 50-100% growth in EPS. Now it will settle in at 10-30% annual growth at best.
KK - All in. If anything, this is the one I would buy more of BUT no dividend for 2013 as it pays down debt.
Cash is good. Keep plenty at hand.
Greedy when others are fearful. Very fearful when others are greedy - to paraphrase Warren Buffett
