My Portfolio is as follows:

Security-WAP(cost) - % Portfolio
CENTUM - 13 - 25%
KENGEN - 10 - 21%
HF - 14 - 18%
NIC - 29 - 9%
KCB - 24 - 8%
KQ - 14 - 6%
TPS - 45 - 6%
KK - 13 - 5%
UCHUMI - NM - 1%

My plans for 2014 are:
1. Lighten - Kengen, NIC, KCB, KK
3. Accumulate- HF, Centum, KQ, TPS
4. Don't care - Uchumi

I foresee a bear in 2015 where i will accumulate the following at the right prices - EABL, NMG, ARM, Kakuzi.


@sparkly, you have too many companies in your portfolio. How do you manage to follow up. Lose kk, KQ & consolidate some of the finacials.

İ have only 3 companies Nic, uchumi & kengen and i plan to buy aggressively during the rights issues.

For trading,Kengen is good.It always swings and now it is really oversold.Rebound in the offing.Just like Safcom,it doesnt disappoint traders

Well My portfolio is similar to the one of stocksmaster, but I have been holding for over 1 year now.

HFCK (14) 20%
TPSEA (49) 35%
KK (9.5) 25%
CFC Bank (66) 20%

Still holding. and happy to hold.
The only stock i would add to my list is I&M bank. It has more potential than DTB in my view, and has a healthy dividend, just wait for it when its announced!

Strangely, i Would speculate in EABL at 290.00, and EQuity at 31.00, coz its at a relative discount.

On TPSE. Intrestingly one of the reasons im investing on TPSEA( apart from undervaluation) is coz of GOV commitment to grow tourism numbers. Glad to be thinking like the gurus.

With a forthcoming 1:1 rights issue within the next 3-6 months, it will be interesting to see if the government will take up its rights. If it doesn't, then its 70% shareholding should reduce to 35% and a reorganisation of the mainly politically appointed board of directors should follow. Kengen needs a serious anchor shareholder with expertise In energy sector (equivalent of Vodafone in Safaricom). Before the rights are done and dusted, the share should be available at the Ksh 10 price levels as the market waits to see the governments move as concerns the rights (hopefully it will sell its rights to an anchor shareholder) in addition to the rights pricing.

Happy hunting.

Wazuans,

I am a new member freshly minted, I stumbled upon this site as I was doing research on stocks. I have a few comments and questions.

First is to thank all of you for contributing this great content.

Second I went through the links to the previous years topics. @stocksmaster you were speculating and had 1 year targets. With the new 3 year target are you still speculating or this is more for the medium term? Are your targets here for your "speculation account" only or for both "speculation" and "long term" account?

Third I think the three picks are good, with TPSE being my least favorite of the three. I think there are other options that will do better over the course of 3 years e.g. Centum, Britam

Fourth Some thoughts. I am reentering the market having sold all my holdings late last year. Before I stumbled on this, my plan was:

30% Housing Finance
20% Britam or Centum
20% Transcentury or EA Cables
30% Rights Issues: Kengen, Uchumi, NBK

Again thanks all. I am glad to be here.

I believe so too about GOK and KENGEN tho the Gov is keen on the sector so they will make sure they are the major shareholder tho diluted. I think there is a reason why GE is here...am watching

I suspect GE wants in. The investments projected do need the stewardship of such a player. However, i doubt GE would invest without Board control.

Happy hunting.

Too many contracts up for grabs for GoK to let their shareholding fall below 50% + 1
