Mahegoat .... Over 90% controlling stake by single foreigner doesn't do for me. Or has it changed?

You see, my day job involves taking drafts, such as can be found on the first post of this thread, and re-writing or re-phrasing it into a format like what you probably read in the second post of this thread. It is quite well paying actually and work is a plenty. I guess you have to direct your queries to the initiator of the thread, @S.Mutaga III. I am flattered, by the way. Thank you.

@S.Mutaga: Had thought of an entry into Total Kenya but about a 1 month ago i happened to go to some godown in Industrial area at night and found a Total Kenya truck being siphoned off fuel and that made me re-think.
Siphoning i gather is a common problem but still somehow the OMCs still make profit.
Enjoy the ride.

Enjoy the ride. Shrinkage losses that OMCs make provision for. As long as Shrinkage is within normal range, nothing to worry about. Life is short. Live passionately.

Almost impossible to eradicate shrinkage. Also the product itself evaporates...measuring instruments may not be very precise. So allowance is made for 'normal' losses....but people have been known to take advantage of allowances...to siphon...alduterate...etc. Singly probably not much!

It is now 2 months since I began this investment journey. Entry price:- 20.5 Current price: - 24 Percentage gain:- 17% Today, the business daily reported that half year earnings (PAT) rose by 33% from 717 million to 958 million. This is an outstanding performance. I intend to hold on as I wait for the end year results and possibly a handsome dividend. This is among the few companies at the NSE which has reported impressive performance. Link: http://www.businessdaily...67790-1kgqty/index.html

Warren Buffett, the billionaire chairman and chief executive officer of Berkshire Hathaway Inc., said the rally in markets over the last several years has made it harder to find bargains, but that stocks remain his choice over bonds. Wealth is built through a relatively simple equation

It is slightly over 5 months since I started this thread. Total is currently trading at Ksh 26 per share. My buying price was Ksh 20.5 per share. This represents a 26.8% rally from the buying price. Nothing much has happened lately due to the election jitters, but I believe that once the swearing in is over, everything will be back to normal. I will be updating my next move soon. A successful man is not he who gets the best, it is he who makes the best from what he gets.

It is approximately 7.5 months since I started this thread. Current performance is as follows: Counter: Total Kenya Buying Price: Ksh 20.5 per share Current Price: Ksh 30 per share Gross % Profit: 46.3% NB: So far, since January 2018, Total has been the best performing counter in the NSE.
