NIC seem to be holding off at 41 region. is it time to buy?


You had 10 NIC shares. They were trading at ksh 49 cum bonus. The value of your investment was 49 x 10 = 490. When they go ex bonus you now have 11 shares, but the value of your investment is still ksh 490, therefore the price per share ex bonus is ksh 490 / 11 = ksh 44.5. Ignore the dividend for this case as it is insignificant. This means that any trade below 44.5 is OK, ksh 41 is a darn good bargain.

With KCB I expect to collect the dividend & more capital gains.

I consider it un wise to buy kcb above 25 in the short term.

>>>I sold at 25/50 and later almost thought I made a mistake. However, may see at least 28/= by books closer on 9th May.

@youcant there is alot of risk in DTB at current levels especially when it goes ex bonus because of the following reasons..

1. There is uncertainty of whether they will beat 2010 earnings.
2. The share is trading at all time highs so profit taking might see it trade flat for some time.
3. The company will not increase the 1.6 dividend and is unlikely to pay a bonus in 2011.
4. For small holders the current bonus issue will result into odd lots which one cant sell..

Disclaimer: the company and share price are likely to outperform in the 3-5 year outlook..
