They had a negative cash flow of kshs 3,432,000. This company was giving my portfolio some balance and diversity.Kcb,Nmg,Carbacid,kenre,co-op,Nse,unga.Planning to sell unga and buy Bamburi.Sell co-op and buy Barclays.Depending on the FY results,i might sell Longhorn and put the money into bamburi.I sold kengen and bought Nmg.That way i intend to have a very divesified portfolio.
