These guys need to slash their prices by over 50% and inprove Staff attitude for them to earn customer loyalty or goodwill. They seemed to treat their customer like they are doing them a favor

Have you ever made a profit from your investments. Asking in humility Good Question The answer is YES BUT I have not had a 100% success rate. My "poor" investments include: KQ [sold out. Break-even?] Olympia [sold out at a loss. Matu the Thief] ADSS [sold out at a huge loss] Kenya Finance [Collapsed. Nyammo the Thug] Deacons [sold out at a loss] KCB [sold out. There was a Rights Issue but the price dropped. Then KCB did another Rights Issue soon thereafter at a lower price. I should have held on.] Sasini [sold out after seeing what Merali the Merciless did to Firestone/Sameer shareholders] (among others) The "good" news is that I have had some heavy hitters that covered my mistakes. CUT YOUR LOSSES if you think the management is lousy or a bunch of thieves. Greedy when others are fearful. Very fearful when others are greedy - *to paraphrase Warren Buffett*

In future I would suggest that you stick to large caps since the kahoonas primarily stalk illiquid counters that are easy to manipulate KQ ABP 4.26

I have FTGH and C&G in my portfolio. KQ was a big cap... Greedy when others are fearful. Very fearful when others are greedy - *to paraphrase Warren Buffett*
