@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.


Shrinkage losses that OMCs make provision for.

As long as Shrinkage is within normal range, nothing to worry about.

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.

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.

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.

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.
