The other day I said Equity was making dangerous moves by announcing loans against shares.
Today KCB makes its own mistake:
Quote:Uchumi takes additional Sh500m debt from KCB
Retail chain Uchumi Supermarkets said on Tuesday day it had struck a Sh500 million loan deal with KCB as it awaits the outcome of a forensic audit that will determine the company’s future.
linkOnce a comapny is in its death bed (like Mumias and Kenya Airways), and especially in the NSE bear market we foresee via Elliott waves, any rescue plans involving money will suck in the rescuers. KCB may soon have to write off this 500 Million shilling life-line it is throwing carelessly. Situation similar to Greece.
How many rescue plans has Uchumi had? J. Ciano was specifically tapped to turn-around fortunes of the retailer for the better. It did not happen. As EWI asserts, the often kicked can may have run out of road.
Apparently, National Bank is also in a similar dilemma once it releases the 1 Billion shillings Mumias bailout package.
Conventional thinkers waste time building shelters when they are unnecessary and then have no shelters when they need them the most. Socionomists do the opposite.
