Why is Britak trading at the current rates? I didn't expect it to perform this way. Was it overvalued at the IPO? Was it another dump? How long is 'the big boys' lock in?

The existing shareholders ('big boys') were allowed to dispose a maximum of 'only' 27% within the 2 years after the IPO. This translates to 404,070,000 shares.

Britak owns hfck and equity chunks of shares about 26% and both have lost value over 50%...profit dip a must..run away until you see the price at 2bob.

The best IPOs at NSE are britank & mpesa. These 2 have taught Wanjikus a vital lesson not taught in any class. This experience will make it hard for IPO con jobs to be floated with impunity going forward smile

Nothing wrong with ipo's NOT all ipo's are bad ...some have been very successful for the wanjiku investor but the problem comes when they do ipo's in a market beaten up like ours.it then becomes hard to sell your company .
am sure if britak was done in mid 2010 we could have riped allot.You have to look at britak's fall in light of the market
bytheway there was a time safaricom rallied from 2 bob to 8 bob !

Somehow, the stock will be back up. Intuition tells me so. And yes, I bought into the IPO.
