Just to correct you,my analysis was based on end of 2008. He bailed out I stayed
Also I have my personal reasons why I didn't sell this one till today. I was a former employee and I'm using using it as a leverage on something.i have much much more than 10k just that i was using it as a starting point. So don't base your analogy on your guru skills of kq on mine . Wewe ni pro ama

@enyands
You forgot to mention that in 2008 during the IPO coop did a share split of 1:100
So the person who had 10,000 shares now has1,000,000.
In 2012 a bonus issue of 1:5 was issued which now brings the total shares to 1.2mn
In 2014 a bonus issue of 1:6 was issued which now brings the total number to 1.5mn shares.
Multiply that with the current value and get your maths.
Add also the total dividend received so far

I'm telling you what I saw when I was there it's only @othelo who may understand

I hope hii you are talking of ni member that underwent a lot of split

Eric I don't know what class of shares you are referring to because there is class A and class B. I held mine for more than 9 yrs.just one time i remember there was a little, very little bonus i think for every 1000 shares you had they gave you 100  which translated to 10% of your holdings. Which was so much small. If we compare the same ratio with equity we find equity to have doubled and tripled and done wonders .

But your math was worrying because the people who made it are people who had shares pre-ipo like you 200 shares friend and some selected "few". These are people whom their shares went 100X. But the likes of us who got post Ipo ,we just got a bonus and a cute dividends year after year.

All people who made it are the ones pre-ipo.Here is all your answers


official records show that senior employees and directors who bought Co-op Bank shares at a par value of Sh100 have seen the value of their investment appreciate by close to 800 per cent after each share was split 100 times and assigned a nominal value of Sh1 in the run up to the listing


I would have printed My statement you see what I mean if you think my sentiments aren't correct but mimi sio  obiero

I'm happy that we are in agreement . The day this stock will rally is the day that MD will step down . He had been on helm for a long long time .Time for new leadership is needed. But he has a way with those old board members so hii yangu ni kelele ya chura

There is a reason why some of us are holding on to it for even 15 yrs. For me as I said before isn't for capital gains or anything, but for leverage purposes.so even if ifike 2 Bob I'll still hold on.

October 30.2015.. I was labelled a rumor monger, a false prophet.. Terrible terms, but those who listened must be thankful today. However, circumstances have now changed and it's time to load up on bank stocks heavily. But only the top tier, specifically Coop, KCB and Equity in that order, only

My No. 1 pick in banks is Equity Bank. They utilize their Assets and Capital most efficiently.
