@the deal please understand that there is no herd mentality here because most of us are already KPLC shareholders wanting a larger piece of the pie or rather maintain our piece of the pie...

and besides a good deal is a good deal. Get it?

I'm just interested in this one... Whenever there is a huge bond issue with a great coupon rate investors tend blame a fall in stocks on the removal of cash for the issue...

Could this be the case with the KPLC rights issue? with the company offering 8.795 billion worth of shares with at least a 50% return packed in them I'm pretty sure investors would dump their non performing shares to get a piece of the pie and hence causing the index to fall...



consider too..

..if TATU is anything to go by..it is not off the mark to think a greater proportion of institutional investors are increasingly finding coziness in going real estate as well as bond trading..learning from likes of DTK n Stanchart

..Moral of the story.. less uncertainty..even lesser political effects..(people still have to live in houses and Government still has to raise cash from debt..and by law MUST PAY) ...better prediction of outcome at end of year..less noisy shareholders..justified pay/salary hikes. smile smile

To me KPLC is Long term But...its inefficient...it largely depends on power hikes to report mega profits...the 1H results might be just there but not spectacular...theyre also entering new territory with their pre paid meter system its good but those meters can be vandalised....

@the deal I had no idea you were a KPLC hater smile

How are the pre paid meters more susceptible to vandalism than the current ones???

about their inefficiencies this is being dealt with and is evident in their financial statements how they are have began controlling costs...

The share is a long term stock but there are short term gains to be made on the rights issue..

20.4 would be terrible!

I've also sold all other counters including my beloved Kenya Re with the exception of KK and KPLC. Managed to increased on KK today @10.50 and KPLC @205 (Don't you just love that sms alert from CDSC?)

I'll still get back to Kenya Re as I saw an ad in last Friday's paper for a new MD.

what sms? I only get a monthly statement from CDSC.



CDSC is trying to move away from the paper junk they keep posting every month. i got my statement for the month of October via e-mail.
there is also a text message sent to update the account holder on the transactions. way cheaper.

the prepaid metres are more safe in terms of pilferage as compared to the 'ancient' ones where one would 'bridge' the circuit and the only time KPLC will know is if they get there physically. so the results are opposite of what you are saying, it's a strong point.

by the time they know how to vandalise them, we would be out of the woods in the introduction of the prepaid metres. believe me, the vandalisation fee is already factored in and whenever it happens it is another consumer paying for it. if it doesnt happen, then it is a reduced cost.
