Impunity wrote:They should limit amount of investment to kindu 100K to bar off kina wanjiru. have u ever read George Orwel's 'The Animal Farm'?. You post reminds my of the phrase, 'all pigs are equal, but some pigs are more equal than others'. Now am not calling any one a pig, well may be our mp's, but lets give kila mtu a chance , even wanjiku. If she sells the next day, then u can buy her share. After all, the buyer is always in controll.

It is an issue of cost. Whether you issue shares for 10,000/- or 100,000/- or 1,000,000/- the cost to the Issuer is (almost) the same. So it makes sense [if the market is there] to issue 100 shareholders x 1,000,000/- than 10,000 shareholders x 10,000/- coz the former is significantly cheaper. Greedy when others are fearful. Very fearful when others are greedy - to paraphrase Warren Buffett

Entered this market with only 23,750 and years later it's a different story altogether for me. If you were never born in Kenyatta's or akina RAO's family then you started out as a wanjiku before you got to where you are.

Thanks @for sport.i was about to respond but i guess you may be a pastor or preacher...2012 interpretes the bible like a novel. "Don't let the fear of losing be greater than the excitement of winning."

@wazuans seems like I have been grossly misquoted. I didnt mean to lock out small investors per se, but for the small investors to join hands in investment groups so that the share price does not pull a safcon on us;the share should be a bit rare.  Portfolio: Sold
You know you've made it when you get a parking space for your yatcht.
