As most of you have noticed, stock prices are plummeting on a daily basis. Perhaps failure to amend the rate cap law has made foreign investors get cold feet. Or maybe the huge debt GOK is taking on has alarmed most investors triggering a selloff. The truth is, we cant tell. A quick glance at the prices and it is obvious that Christmas might come early for bargain hunters. My investment strategy entails buying value companies with good dividend yields. Therefore, although I haven't pulled the buy trigger yet, I have my eyes on the following counters:-
-KCB:- At a dividend yield of over 7% and a PE of 6.4, I will watch this one closely. I like the PAT growth as well.
-Longhorn:- At a dividend yield of over 8%, PE of about 7 and 20%+ profit growth every year for the last two years, this one is a no-brainer.
Currently, my eyes are on those two companies as I dig up more information about them to get a sharper focus. I expect to pull the buy trigger soon (month or two) and to start averaging down as the bear market offers better prices. Happy hunting.
A successful man is not he who gets the best, it is he who makes the best from what he gets.

Did you sell off your other holdings like Total.

Add a few more counters to this list, I find it too narrow

This is just a reconnaissance exercise. It is not a means to an end. I am sure that as prices tumble, more counters will come into focus.
