The Centum dilemma... You know the DJ is a jangili ... but you also know that he gets a good return for his shareholders... as long as interests are aligned.


@target1360 what stocks are you invested in?


b.a.t,e.a.b.l, nic,unga,kcb,safcom, and my achilles heel is kenre!
i also hold cfc stanbic since since it is my banker for stocks and transactions/savings


Bear proof portfolio, good one.


It is my first filter for stocks, management. If I don't trust I don't even evalua the stock.

Interesting, the only share I don't want to buy/ have from that list is kenre and maybe Unga( not coz of management issues on Unga)
Why not KenRe [except the 60% GoK ownership] and Unga? I'd like to hear your thoughts.


On Kenre its purely about Gava shareholding.

On Unga, no real reason, there are other manufacturing stocks that i prefer. the likes of ARM, FTGH and crown.

I thought long & hard about KenRe. Yes, like you the GoK shareholding is worrisome. My one exception but if the CEO is fired or leaves [or I hear something isn't kosher] so does @VVS.

Unga - Fair enough.
I am looking at FTGH as well.
ARM, I am waiting until after we know the terms of the 'new' investment.
Crown - I missed the boat but please let me know why you think it is interesting.

I have a friend who made a cool 60 M when he exited at 65 after buying sub 25.Since the dj is shady, the returns will always be great if you time your entry n exit well.

i expect people to continue eating their Jogoo maize floor in the fore see able future.Plus i like the Ndegwa s management at Nic/icea

Am still studying Ftg though is been public for quite a short period.

A.r.m has too much debt.
They are able to manage debt well but one day a fool may run the company.

crown-nothing interesting there.
I find satisfaction in owning great business,not trading them

@VVS im yet to invest in crown myself valuation keeps me off. I like their dominant position in the market, or should i say the industry doesn't have stiff competition. And paint will be used as long as there are roads and houses to be built and maintained. I find the management serious and consistent.

I had thought the bonus issue and the profit dip last year would crater the price for me to get in but, NO. my entry is around 30.00-20.00 share defying gravity in 2015.

@target. Those are my fears in ARM and what kept me away in the beginning. I wonder if at some point they will reduce their debt levels, surely growth cant go on at the high pace forever? Anyway at a certain price i like ARM, but i agree too much DEBT

The very smart James Mworia is at it again. http://www.businessdaily...-/105t68sz/-/index.html Centum sells part of Two Rivers to Old Mutual. This cash can be used to reduce debt and fund new projects!

@VVS you jeopardise your expectations if you jump in while there is a lot of market frenzy about Two Rivers mall and financial muscle of Old Mutual. ...And not forgetting the fact that CK DJ is a big shafter in town.
