You bought KQ at KES 41 and sold at KES 14. Then used the proceeds to buy KK at KES 18.5 which you have been hustled out of at KES 23. Considering entire trail of the two investments, you are in a net cash loss position and you know it, hence the poems :)  OK. But now what should I do? Should I use my KK cash to buy KQ at the super-discounted price of 5.25? Will KQ help me recover my losses from the debacles above? Please, please Prophet Jakom Owuor Obiero, send me a sign! *For anyone who doesn't know my online relationship with @Obiero, please do not refer to this exchange as research or recommendation* Wait for the FY 2018 loss announcement projected at KES 5.6B and then buy on the downturn.. I see no floor, but upon JKIA takeover, KES 12 is guaranteed

Are we interested and we have been bought? "Don't let the fear of losing be greater than the excitement of winning."

Dear Wazuans, I posted the post below on 4th March 2018. It is now almost 1 year to the day! The funds are "NDANI" as we say. Thanks to this fortunate provenance, a lot of mis-investments have been fixed. Thank you to Rubis, Ohana, KenolKobil, brokers, advisors/research analysts, etc. Thank you to those who kept the faith and encouraged me to keep the faith. If I have hurt anyone's feelings with my ardent defense of KK, I hope you find it in your heart to forgive me. I shall now "retire" from this thread given I no longer have an interest/shareholding in KenolKobil. Unless Rubis cross-lists in Kenya or KK re-lists on the NSE, I shall remain, at most, a customer and well-wisher of KK. I hope I can find another KK amongst what is left at the NSE. If yes, then let us meet at that forum. Adios Amigos. VVS *Image of VVS riding into the sunset VituVingiSana wrote:The "2015" subject header has been overtaken by events hence the new thread.
KK's financial strength has changed substantially since 2015:
- Disposal of loss-making assets in Tanzania and DRC
- Substantial reduction in the level of debt. [Effectively the KES debt is zero]
- Consolidation of the business followed by expansion [new stations]
- KK is back in the OTS market with USD financiers willing to lend
- Cheaper financing from Dutch banks (vs French banks)
- KK is back into jet fuel in a big way [except supplying KQ which is still cash-strapped]
- Provision/settlement for KPRL/KPC debt and lawsuits
- Biwott is no more
KK is entering a new era of profitable growth [though there's a limit unless KK can expand regionally] and there's potential for a takeover given Ohana has cleaned the books and Biwott's kids may have little interest in "owning" KK.
There are some challenges e.g.
- The VAT coming in Sep will increase financing costs
- The VAT would increase the price which will lower demand
- The VAT will make smuggling/dumping of fuel more attractive. The KRA cannot stamp out smuggling when its officers (& police) are part of the problem
- Competition esp Vivo and Total
My Bottomline: KK will do well with or without a takeover. Greedy when others are fearful. Very fearful when others are greedy - to paraphrase Warren Buffett

Some folks were asking why I own KK and not some “high flying” stocks that have been “turning around” for years! 😂 Ohana said during the AGM that he expects KK will have a great 1H 👍🏽 Kk, the gift that keeps on giving.  Brother! Yeah! Let's goo!!! Mine has also hit the account. The investor's chief problem - and even his worst enemy - is likely to be himself

I bought, then sold a year ago due to other committments , bought again and so i still got to 'eat' something. So if there is an mpesa no where we need to 'appreciate' you, let us know. Question is which other 'KK' can we get in the market to take up the funds from Rubis

Pesa iko ndaaaani, ndani, ndani!!! Ndaaaaaani!!! 100%. Not a single cent deducted. Never count on making a good sale. Have the purchase price be so attractive that even a mediocre sale gives good returns.

Thank you @vvs. You have been a great driver of this bus and made most of us hold on and even add substantially more shares even when the going was rough and some fellows here were making fun of us!!! My money is now in the bank and I will be re-investing it pap because I know the power of compounding!! The much I have made I multiply it even more. Never count on making a good sale. Have the purchase price be so attractive that even a mediocre sale gives good returns.

Instead put it in KCB or any other solid stock and later in life they will afford to buy a KQ plane

Weka list hapa tafadhali. @vvs primarily looks for growth stocks, and is very good at it, regardless of what @Obiero says. I've personally benefited from trailing some of his choices. If you are not salaried, you might want to add some dividend stocks to your portfolio, unless you have adequate alternative passive incomes. SCBK and BBK come to mind on this score.
