As a contrarian play, which one entails less risk of loss?

What is the basis of these conclusions? Have you not heard that past performance is not an indication of future performance? Are you saying that nothing is being done to address issues that led to past poor performance? I think not!

Wazua is a great place to get information but at times it can dish you tonne loads of misleading information!!! Safaricom comes to mind. The stock was totally bashed in Wazua even when it was trading at Kshs. 2.xy. Almost everyone wrote it's obituary and even prepared for its funeral. "Safaricom was finished. Could not compete. Voice was dead bla bla bla!!!". And threads were all over. You can dig them up!!! Suffice it to say most Wazuans missed the bus by millions of miles.

I love Wazuans. They are very resourceful and have extremely valuable information. But when they are wrong, boy can they be wrong!!!
Never count on making a good sale. Have the purchase price be so attractive that even a mediocre sale gives good returns.

It depends with what you want.
Seeing that there are many other dead stocks in NSE which are still trading,there is nothing wrong with these stocks.
They are both risky.If its dividends you want,forget them.If its capital gains,even the worst i.e mumias,Home africa and others are trading.
In my opinion kenya power will be less risky because there is no way Gok will allow it to collapse.

"Chartist" made me sell part of my safaricom at 11 bob, the oversold - overbought blal blal blal. I have never believed anything from them since. Do your own research & make your move.

Both for these two shares they are both operating under heavy debt - finance cost and negative cash flow. Further I don't trust management of KPLC & Transcentury is suffering from heavy competition from Chinese products some of which are third rate - counterfeits plus their previous deal making prowess disappeared after the exit of Kibaki.
