People eventually notice the VALUE of a company. Even if it takes time! Then the price goes through the roof. The longer they take to notice, the better for you. You simply keep accumulating. people who could not touch Safaricom at Kshs. 2.x have been busy chasing the same share at 16/=. Never count on making a good sale. Have the purchase price be so attractive that even a mediocre sale gives good returns.

If you have REA shares, give thanks to Kirubu, Mworia and Centum. The Robinows were going to pay 40. Now they have to pay 85. Greedy when others are fearful. Very fearful when others are greedy - to paraphrase Warren Buffett

How low can this go? instead of up, its down I am currently strategizing on accumulating Kenya Re, KPLC and Unga...think long term and dont sell. This company is a huge bargain. Think about it this way, the company is growing profits at a commendable rate, there are no bad news regarding the company, the valuation is heavily discounted and the government guaranteed its business to 2020. Any price decline is due to market irrationality, so take it positively and accumulate more because you are getting a good deal at an even better price. A successful man is not he who gets the best, it is he who makes the best from what he gets.

Though i find government controlled entities as quite risky. you never know what GOK will wake up and decide.

Business Daily wrote:The International Finance Corporation (IFC) will acquire a stake in Kenya Re partly owned reinsurer, Zep-Re, in a Sh1.9 billion deal.
The World Bank investment arm is buying an estimated 11 per cent in the Nairobi-based regional underwriter despite objection from Kenya Re.
“The proposed project consists of an IFC investment of up to US$20 million in new shares in Zep-Re for a direct shareholding in the company in line with the stake of the other two development financial institutions,” reads a disclosure document from IFC.
The entry of IFC has, however, not been taken kindly by Kenya Re whose stake, along with that of other shareholders, will be diluted by the creation of new shares.
Kenya Re shareholding in Zep Re has shrunk to 16 per cent from 20.7 per cent two years ago following the entry of two development financial institutions. Zep Re must be very lucrative....

Also partly responsible for dilution of Kenya Re stake in Zep Re, was because Kenya Re opted not to Capitalize their dividends from Zep Re around 2013. I wonder if they badly needed that 50M. Time is money, so money is time. Money saved is time gained in reverse! Money stores your life’s energy. You expend your energy, get paid money, and store that money for a future purchase made in a currency.
