After buying at listing price of Ksh 50 and selling at 42 bob. I vowed never to touch this thing. Just surprised that some steel balled shareholders are still in there at 90%+ lower
There are some hard-core folks who want to go down with the ship!
"Buy and Hold" does not mean you hold when the tide (fundamentals) has turned for the worse. It means one does not "trade"...
Other firms that some shareholders have held on through thick and thin regardless of the fundamentals include:
KQ [I bailed in 2012 at 13+]
NBK - GoK
ARM - A huge mistake going into TZ but they may find a Strategic Partner but not worth the 40/- that CDC paid.
Sameer - Merali
Eveready - Merali
Uchumi - GoK
Mumias - GoK
Olympia - Matu [I sold out. This firm is run by a crook.]
Deacons - I has a few but I sold out post-Westgate. It's a dead man walking.
Some (very few) have recovered from dire straits
ARM - From barely alive to booming [Late 90s to 2015 but then back to the barely breathing]
KK - From Segman's evisceration to Ohana's day in the sun.
KenGen - GoK bailout
KPLC - GoK bailout but it's back in the ICU
KCB
