Interesting, the only share I don't want to buy/ have from that list is kenre and maybe Unga( not coz of management issues on Unga) Why not KenRe [except the 60% GoK ownership] and Unga? I'd like to hear your thoughts. On Kenre its purely about Gava shareholding. On Unga, no real reason, there are other manufacturing stocks that i prefer. the likes of ARM, FTGH and crown. The investor's chief problem - and even his worst enemy - is likely to be himself

I thought long & hard about KenRe. Yes, like you the GoK shareholding is worrisome. My one exception but if the CEO is fired or leaves [or I hear something isn't kosher] so does @VVS. Unga - Fair enough. I am looking at FTGH as well. ARM, I am waiting until after we know the terms of the 'new' investment. Crown - I missed the boat but please let me know why you think it is interesting. Greedy when others are fearful. Very fearful when others are greedy - to paraphrase Warren Buffett

A.r.m has too much debt. They are able to manage debt well but one day a fool may run the company. crown-nothing interesting there. I find satisfaction in owning great business,not trading them

A.r.m has too much debt. They are able to manage debt well but one day a fool may run the company. crown-nothing interesting there. @VVS im yet to invest in crown myself valuation keeps me off. I like their dominant position in the market, or should i say the industry doesn't have stiff competition. And paint will be used as long as there are roads and houses to be built and maintained. I find the management serious and consistent. I had thought the bonus issue and the profit dip last year would crater the price for me to get in but, NO. my entry is around 30.00-20.00 share defying gravity in 2015. @target. Those are my fears in ARM and what kept me away in the beginning. I wonder if at some point they will reduce their debt levels, surely growth cant go on at the high pace forever? Anyway at a certain price i like ARM, but i agree too much DEBT The investor's chief problem - and even his worst enemy - is likely to be himself

The very smart James Mworia is at it again. http://www.businessdaily...-/105t68sz/-/index.html Centum sells part of Two Rivers to Old Mutual. This cash can be used to reduce debt and fund new projects! Greedy when others are fearful. Very fearful when others are greedy - to paraphrase Warren Buffett
