Enjoy. I picked Equity over KCB. No complaints.
No complaints. Equity touched 53.50 today for some decent volumes at 53.50
I picked Equity over KCB. It may be a mistake to alight from Equity at this stage but I shall do so and hold cash.
P.S. I still remain a fan of Equity over KCB.
Hmmm I thought u were a buy and hold kinda guy. Dude ur protege does not sell unless economics of the business have severely deteriorated or so he says.
Yes, I am and it pains
me to sell Equity but I am also looking at another (better?) investment. The "cash on hand" is a temporary situation for me. I am not "trading" Equity shares.
BTW, I may be forced to sell
NIC too [not a core holding but one I like] if I need more cash. Based on my perception (PER, P/B) of NIC vs Equity, I chose to sell Equity first.
If we had options in Kenya, then I would not sell Equity/NIC and hold cash but execute the Puts when the "other" investment was ready to be funded.
My mentor has (operating) businesses that generate a lot of cash but alas I do not. Nor do I have his ability to raise (cheap) funds from banks/bonds as needed. Ideally, I should be able to borrow to fund my investments but that's not possible/feasible and the cost (13.5% + 2.5% fees) remains scary.
If I had (unleveraged) "cash" I would not sell Equity, NIC, etc.
In 2017, I started "cleaning up" my portfolio and sold off many "orphans" that were laggards.
I hope when I have "free cash" I can re-enter Equity at a reasonable valuation.
Anyway, this is a KCB thread. Enjoy.
