Kaffir, the banks will accomplish that feat before EABL does, and you can take that to the...er bank? But Safaricom will not relinquish that crown soon GOD BLESS YOUR LIFE

For now, i will watch Safcom from the sidelines. It should remain profitable, but my money is on EABL to regain the crown of 'most profitable company'! It is a REAL 3/- call... Tried and it worked! Now I need to find friends in Canada, India and China... Greedy when others are fearful. Very fearful when others are greedy - to paraphrase Warren Buffett

There is no panic in safcom right now and even their 1st half results will be relatively good but dont dare waiting beyond that.the impact of the call price cuts will leave the share at 2bob. "Don't let the fear of losing be greater than the excitement of winning."

Even on the technical side there is no more support for the share below 4.5 until 3.8 Mark 12:29

UK/Kenya allows individual operators to charge different rates for on/off-network. Accessing/calling Mobile phones in UK is very expensive. Calling UK landline from Skype is 2c but 20c to a mobile line. USA/India/China/Canada: There are no or very low 'interconnection' fees between operators. Thus there is no distinction between calling landlines or cellphones. Well, I am sure about USA/Canada not sure about India/China but I think it is similar. Greedy when others are fearful.

I am HAPPY I sold off all my safaricom earlier in the year... The 2H will be very, very tough for them... Safaricom will complain about irrational pricing by Zain-Airtel but it still means loss of ARPU... Zain has PERMANENT cheaper calls, sms, money transfer & now international calls... So why are you still with safaricom? Greedy when others are fearful. Very fearful when others are greedy - to paraphrase Warren Buffett

@Sparkly masaa ya kubamba ends THEN WHAT?! This won't be a catalyst but rather a further loss of customers to Zain and yu... Safcom is in a very huge lose-lose situation when it comes to voice... So be careful... I'm looking to buy at 3.5 now at 4.85 from 4.30, looks like the masonko promotion is winning the hearts and minds of customers and investors. Traders making money when others are nyefing safaricom kwisha Life is short. Live passionately.

Nothing surprising here,this share is giving us back what was rightfully ours "Don't let the fear of losing be greater than the excitement of winning."
