Portland maybe be a good buy when it gets hammered properly . as a takeover target. The investor's chief problem - and even his worst enemy - is likely to be himself

The Nairobi bourse listed cement maker which is majority State-owned is considering engaging Deloitte & Touché —the new auditors of the company for the year to June 2014— to examine EAPCC’s previous financial records for any malpractices.

Starts to look like CMC and a sure enterprise corruption candidate.
Volume and price trend will tell the story.$15/barrel oil... The commodities lehman moment arrives as well as Sovereign debt volcano!

Aiming to replicate guru267's success here. Cons Can't trust management. So much land Wan*** tried to install his own conflicted CEO. Pro Land, 21B of investment property, to the best of my knowledge it's all to be sold. KCB loan already swapped for land, employees dues also in the process. Currently profitable core operations. Last year's dividend gives some confidence(did they actually pay?). In all a risky bet based on the investment philosophy of "Surely they can't steal everything". On a lighter note back in 2013(earlier in this thread) @Obiero was still warning about over exposure to financials.

The book value is over 230 shillings.Most of the shares are held by institutions hence leaving around 6 percent held by individual investors.Being a target the government want to sell their is possibility of shares going up. “I don’t regret the things I’ve done, I regret the things I didn’t do when I had the chance.”

We got used to it. The negativity and pressure I experienced when I was buying BBK @8.50-10.00 before their transition to ABSA. Do your thing and hold, the reward always comes later. In the business world, everyone is paid in two coins - cash and experience. Take the experience first; the cash will come later - H Geneen

Imagine speaking in KoQe and staying dividend-less for years instead of "over exposure to financials" which paid dividends for all those years! Greedy when others are fearful. Very fearful when others are greedy - to paraphrase Warren Buffett
