Make that 16.50...putting most of my trading holdings to EABL and NCBA has saved me some coins.Stanchart and BAT for dividends still solid...KCB very disappointing.
Most of my daughters money is in KCB and BAT. KCB dividends were disappointing but performance not bad. At least my daughters still have some way to go before I officially turn over the shares to them. For now we deal with the disappointment and move on.
My greatest disappointment is using all their free cash to "grab" for them more KCB shares on Monday at a "discount". I have would have used the same cash to get them more shares in a few weeks!!!
The young are all about ESG (they are woke), how do you explain BAT investments to them?
They are not there yet. When they are old enough they can take the money and invest in companies that meet their social, environmental wokeness etc.
For now it is my responsibility to make sure I multiply their money as much as I can.
I don't smoke and I don't advocate smoking. But whether I do or not, people still gonna smoke. And I ain't leaving that money on the table!
Never count on making a good sale. Have the purchase price be so attractive that even a mediocre sale gives good returns.
