Re-insurance business is one of the difficult areas to give a valuation so the low P/E should not be the only reason to invest. Most insurance companies don't even invest so much into Kenya Re. East Africa Re has been in this business and its profits are nothing to write home about.

@mkonomtupu you're right there is always a reason for low P/E's... and the reason for this company's low P/E is clearly poor management...

I jumped ship from KENRE in Jan at 14bob. Used the money to add some CFC at 45 [1 CFC for every 3 KENRE]

Today KENRE is at 13.5 [down 4%] while CFC is at 50 [up 11%]

Down to 13 bob as at 9.45pm.

Damn this share.. anyway as a long term investor, the small flactuations in price shouldn't matter that much.

Its was about time for the management to be changed, court or no court.

I will wait for the share to stabilize after one week then make a decision. Let the market absorb the bad news.

@mkimwa IMHO it is not viable to hold this stock for the long term.. its insurance... you might as well be holding an agricultural because of the profits and if you are a warren buffet junkie like i am you'll know these things burn investors left right and centre all around the world... who knows where the next big claim will come from...

i just cant wait to see the price action when iformation starts reaching shareholders...
