You can't ever go wrong with these..

1. Jubilee
2. KCB
3. Kenol Kobil
4. Bamburi
When you're old these companies will definitely be African Giants...

There will always be a demand for food-grade carbon dioxide from Brewers, bottlers etc etc

Thanks wazuans for your wisdom. It looks like the following feature prominently on everyone's list: KCB EABL JUBILEE i wish to differ with individuals saying, this company provides a commodity that will always be needed so it will always prosper. Reason, another company may be the one providing that commodity in future, so if a company can't stand the test of time, whether or not its an essential a commodity it will still fail or not give consistent returns.

The standard benchmark to gauge whether a stock could be held for life is that it should return 10 tens its value (including splits and dividends) cumulatively in 10 years.

Only 4 counters achieved this for the period 2001 - 2011. They are :-

(i) KCB
(ii) EABL
(iii) JUB
(iv) KPLC

Looking forward 2012 - 2022, KCB and EABL still qualify to be relied on. I will add KENOL in the list to make 3 counters.

your answer is factual. Very impressive. I'm wondering does 10 tens its value, equal to 100 times its value? Ie 10 times 10. Regards

Yes Carbacid is good too. Currently suffering from high operating expenses but likely to bounce back in 2012.

Add to the list: Limuru Tea.
Their tea business is doing poorly compared to WTK or Kapchorua but they sit on land whose current market value approximates Ksh 9,000 - 10,000 per share!!! In 10 years time, that share value (x 22 current share price) will have been realised.

Happy Hunting



@stocksmaster

I do not subscribe to your idea on LMT.A one off sales of fixed asset is not an indicator of future growth
of a company.

Companies are grown by deploying funds
to invest and make profit. Funds can be obtained by looking inwards that is ploughing back from fixed assets.

I do not equally like WT biz model. Splashing a
juicy special dividend from extra ordinary item (sales of fixed asset) is not a sustainable strategy. This thread I believe is about which stocks to pick for long term position not short term bread and butter. Regards

I know an old lady who bought 100 BBK shares during IPO in mid-80s. She paid sh1,600 for them.

To day they have "grown" to 28,800 shares worth about 380k. that's an annualised 24% average growth. Excluding dividends (this year alone she'll get over 30k!]. Not bad.

Can we say she has kept them for life even though she is still alive?
