In Sunday Nation, CBK reported that Banks made 15% profit in 2009. Individually, some have made obviously made more than others. I think for short term investors it's time to do a quick study on and capitalize on it now before the announcements. My bet would be on BBK, KCB, NIC HF and NBK. Not too sure about Equity, Co-op and SCB. Your thoughts?

- SCBK 3Q +44% yoy. Since one of the larger banks... you can expect they contributed significantly to the 15% growth for 2009
- KCB should be positive coz of fewer scams in 2009!!! 2008 was affected by Triton.
- BBK might find 15% tough but I hear the announcement is very close...
- HFCK shud see a strong growth coz of booming mortgage business...

@vvs, Thanks for that. I was rather confused about SCB. What's your take on Equity?

@stocksmaster,

Your time to take a loss has come if you haven't sold already.Remember every 50% loss starts out as a 10%,20% loss.Hope is the biggest enemy of the cold-hearted speculator.You jumped in too early.My 2 cents.

was waiting for mumias at below 10,unexpected winds have me placing a bid @8.90 and crossing my fingers.
