People have been questioning the sustainability of Zain's strategy,if im not wrong their management said they have ability of pushing this war for the bext 18months with a war chest of kshs. 24billion.mark you these guys are not novices in this industry....so if safcom is waiting zain to fade they need to think again.

On a scale of 1 - 10, where is your risk appetite - 10 being can take maximum risk and 1 being can't take any risk at all?

I have only a small nest there, so no sweat..my risk appetite is 8. Waiting it out. But sub 4.50 , hopefully it reaches sub 4, and I increase the nest.

Wrong! Telecoms is a technology-driven growth sector with no limits! Name one mobile company in the world that isn't doing alright despite sound management? When the chips are down, they will all "agree" on price fixing! That is what happens in the West - where there is a bare minimum pricing they wont go below.

Yet SafCom, unlike the old Telkom, did not squander their dominance, they invested in the future, which is data and media integration!

Zain needs years to invest as much as Safcom.

Meanwhile, Safcom should refuse to go into price cutting.. instead bundle essential goodies n throw in extras for free...sort of like what 3G Hutchinson does in UK.

Now, wud be a good time to for vodafone to ask MJ how much it takes to remain as MD to deal a lethal one on Bharti.

It might be back to 6 b4 books close,if at all it does,i will personally average at that price to avoid being admitted in nairobi hospital in future.

MJ right now is on a flight to UK to convince foreign investors of the value in saf...expect a small rally next week...2011 is when the sh*t will hit the fan.

@Wamutonyi, am spoilt for a BIG DEBATE with you. lets do it here and now!...So why are you hyping Zain instead of Yu whose prices are in the neighborhood of ZERO?

waiting for it to go below 4.7 bob...here I come!!! remember Grahams rule. look for a big company with stable fundamentals which the market is skeptical about...some bad news on it..

Thank God I exited saf long time ago! no headache now. av also misplaced my saf line wich I rearly used it for mpesa transactions but I don't think of replacing it. definetly it's time to reactivate my zain line and buy china dual sim phone to enjoy zain and yu calling prices. for saf investors, I would ask u to be loyal to ur company and muendelee kujipa moyo perhaps one day maombi yenu yatajibiwa, amen.

@ ken, because zain was the one bold enough to take that step like that. Up Zain

point noted!
