Or when that happens they will start buying land again. At what price? Are they going to get such huge tracts in that area? We are not talking about some random land in Kajiado here remember! This is land at the heart of their operations. They are just selling for accounting purposes!!! That's sad! Never count on making a good sale. Have the purchase price be so attractive that even a mediocre sale gives good returns.

Should the focus be balancing books or filling seats? The guy is focusing on both. Look at the recent developments. I think return to profitability is coming, but not this year end. “The beauty of success is that it doesn’t matter how many times you have failed, you only have to be right once and then everyone can tell you how lucky you are.” - Mark Cuban

A sales office in Tea Room, another at the Junction, talk of split personality, lakini nitakufa nayo, my average buy price is shocking. Tema hio mate mbaya! Ngunze is a gift from God It's the traders who requested. Traders requested a ticketing office at Tea Room? Unless it is a cargo centre, they can't walk to Barclay's Plaza to buy a ticket? And how many traders are these to warrant an office? Let us assume a basic office. Rent 20k, manager 100k, 3 x clerks 100k, cleaner 10k, utilities 20k, total 250k. The office needs to generate 250k per month to cover fixed costs. Kwani hawo watu wa Luthuli wanaleta nini? Which manager will take home 100Kpm? Talk of 250K basic plus exciting allowances on the side...we are talking of monthly expenditure of 1 million and above. Biashara ya ndege sio kama ya kuuza samaki, not my words but @Kimunya's!

And some of the warehouses appear occupied...did someone think deeply in the decision to sell he land? They will buy the same plot 10B shilling in 3 years to come...just wait n see.

when mawingu was announced I was one of those who heavily criticised it. KQ debt now stands at 130b!!!! it is the interest payments that are strangling the company and I'm sure it's the reason they are selling the land. to retire some debts. It still will not be enough if mawingu continues as planned. I don't see any change in fortunes in the near future. The investor's chief problem - and even his worst enemy - is likely to be himself

When you need cash badly, it doesn't matter if your cow is just about to give birth. You only have one choice, sell it! KQ is unfortunately in an ugly financial spot and with limited choices. Time is money, so money is time. Money saved is time gained in reverse! Money stores your life’s energy. You expend your energy, get paid money, and store that money for a future purchase made in a currency.

Next Dreamliner is 5Y-KZG, whose parts are just now arriving in Charleston for assembly. KQ started flying the Dreamliner to London today (19.01.2015). Maybe that's the one there now, leaving back to Nairobi tonight. Sent from my Black Nokia 3310

Perhaps KQ will make a Operations Profit in 2H 2014-15. The pay reduction is a good sign. Nevertheless, this doesn't mean I recommend KQ shares. Greedy when others are fearful. Very fearful when others are greedy - to paraphrase Warren Buffett
