Since you are thinking of a single counter, then the age long KPLC is okay.

If I am to decide alone I would have split it this way to 4 counters :-

KPLC 40% @ 19.50 bob
KCB 20% @ 20.00 bob
EABL 20% @ 178.00 bob
BAMB 20% @ 170 bob

No strict rules since it is long term the entry price can be +- 0.50 bob.

You should also add an agricultural - Kakuzi, Kapchorua, Vipingo or WTK will do you well, I took a short trip and realised that this sector has not been affected despite the persisting drought.

BBI will solve it

Now you know which counter to put in your 1 million - Kenol Kobil! Too bad that you did not get in today. Tomorrow, it will be unattainable.

Sixty years ago, Warren Buffett discovered Insurance. Quite by mistake actually, as he was a 20-year-old graduate student at Columbia, when he discovered Ben Graham was the chairman on Government Employees Insurance Co. On the following Saturday, he proceeded to visit the company's headquarters in Washington only to find the building closed. Luckily a janitor heard him frantically pounding the door and let him in.

Lorimer Davidson spent 4 hours giving Warren Buffett an education about insurance and GEICO. It was the beginning of a lifelong friendship. Soon thereafter, after graduation, Buffet became as a stock-salesman and made GEICO his prime recommendation. He plowed 75% of his portfolio into this one stock:
...Soon after meeting Davy, I made the stock 75% of my $9,800 investment portfolio. (Even so, I felt over-diversified)... Chairman's letter 2010



On that note, I see no problem in @gathiru use of KShs 1m to buy on large block of either:
a. Equity Bank
b. KenolKobil
c. Jubilee

in no particular order. My personal preference is (c) though.

Wait and in the onset of vigorous 2012 campaigns get into equity or kcb or scangroup.go and sleep to rip over 2m in less than 2yrs.


Shame on you Shame on you , it might not be the case this time round. too many factors have changed beginning with the new constitution.
I would take VVS's advice: BE GREEDY RIGHT NOW, WHEN PEOPLE ARE AFRAID. Its very difficult for the index to go below 3000 and yet, since it had touched 4,500. it will not take long before we are back there. PATIENCE is the key, wait period should be no less than 3yrs.

Almost Any Counter will do. My Preference - EA Cables and KCB. HAPPY HUNTING
Do it today! Tomorrow is promise to no-one.

@Muganda, this fellow should just buy KK and be done with it. Jubilee's results will be affected by the fall in the NSE while Equity well er ah em will do well but is twice the price of KK.

TOTAL this is one counter that is hitting the record lowest since i started being keen with the bourse (8years) i consider the 23-25 region a good premium.
