What about Coop bank? Any1 with the latest yield figures?

True, but do you agree that the capital gains one might derive over the "long term" might trump reinvesting the dividends from shares with higher yields?

we at the stock market target the capital gains rather than the dividends. in fact we use the dividend dates to make our calculation of timing so as we make the maximum gains.

Safcom?wouldn't count on it..KCB's yield is what can be relied upon.

I think we are likely to see similar prices like for friday. The price will dip slighty tomorrow and subsequent days but will later recover within a month or so.

Let's wait & see..the trend will be closely monitored from base.

Do you think the issues this company is having with NSSF (being one of the largest investors there and threatening to dump the share) will have a major impacts on the price?

Total.... I find this share very hard to excite.... Its price movements are too stiff for one to be able to play.... even in the long term... For the last 10 years, the highest it has gone up is 58 or so and that was in 2004 before i knew what the NSE was all about! Dividends have been 1bob for the last two years.... You got to have the patience of a hawk if you expect this share to make you rich....

Different strokes to different folks madam @wendz and dear @Pkoli.

My investment objective in your NSE is income and therefore whatever dividend that is declared is more important to me than the lateral growth of the stock.

Be aware I am a non resident investor and I am not all that young as my name portrays coupled with my recent deep exposure to real estate as a leverage and other markets. Investing on the long term in African markets is the best approach from my point of view. That not witstanding I speculate on foreign (Outside Africa) stocks but purely on Resource counters (Gold and Oil) which is very factual and more predictable.

You may be younger, you may not have all the exposure that I have so it is easy to concentrate on your local bourse and a handful of others.

The confusion in BAMB for now opens a buying opportunity for long termers. BAMB returned a total dividend of 8.25 bob on 168 bob price. ARM returned 1.25 bob on circa 170 price. For long termers BAMB is better for those for capital gain, ARM is superb. Hope you are aware that BAMB returned lower PBT than previous year !


Yes Total is dull for my liking. I do not hold any position in Total.

I disagree with you on BBK. Ask those who bought say 100 units of BBK in 2001 what multiples it has grown in terms of bonuses, splits and dividends.
