Hehehe you are right in many ways but the prospects for the banks are not as bright as you say read this http://contrarianinvesti...rt-01-07-2011-eabl.html but yes there are alot of speculators riding the bus.

@ Bettertry- What did Segman say about interim dividends in his H12010 report?

Segman pointed out they were not going to issue interim dividends during that period BUT, going forward into the coming months it was something they were going to look into.

So l think that statement... among a host of other reasons contributes to the recent price rally we've seen...

a stock rallying in isolation in a bear market raises allot of eyebrows. Fundies are strong but itsnt the only stock with strong fundermentals.if investors are trully buying here why dnt they reach out and grab the other shares that have even stronger fundermentals.
Pure speculation if you ask me.u have to learn to dicern speculative behavior and real investor buying
But the ride is sweet i cnt complain.

Actually this rally makes alot of sense. This company has had great fundamentals but the share price had stagnate for over 1 year even with the great fundamentals. 2 weeks ago the fundamentals became even better, such that it was too much to ignore, no matter the state the n.s.e is in. Another point to note is how the rally has occurred. It has been slow and gradual gaining 1 % daily at most 1.5. Friday was the highest gain of 3.04 percent since the rally started. A share with many speculators would rally over a shorter time and gaining 10 percent a day, like uchumi or eaagads did. And come down quickly.
