Who are the raiders taking KCB and Equity bank shares in millions? They must be foreigners or those selling KQ shares. Anyone in the know?
Wisdom to detect when share prices hit rock bottom.
When interest on bonds keep going up, you know the bear run is on high street. When interest on bonds start leveling, the bear has met the bull and they have hit rock bottom. When the interest rates on bonds start coming down, the bull has overpowered the bear and you better be riding the bull.

@Sure,but it is 95% foreign buys on KCB,8.4 Million shares traded by the close with a demand for another 9M against a 400k supply.

KCB at any price above 23.5 its definitely a sell for me having bought at between 15.80 - 16.50 range. Am sure it will definitely touch a low of 20 before book closure and a roar once more. As for equity I guess its a pump and dump. Just look at today's volume. Its insignificant...fume volumes.

Equity's is even more surprising. After book closure you'd expect it to go down, but no. even more demand ex dividend. Safcom behaved similarly last year.

My surprise is on NBK!

Equity reported 40% increase in profits and the share price started falling. NBK report a decline in profitability and the share price goes up.

Is it that people expected Equity's profit to rise by a bigger margin and NBK's profit to decline by a bigger margin or is it the Kenyan retail investors and speculators being in their usual Absolutely Bure Kabisa mode?
Never count on making a good sale. Have the purchase price be so attractive that even a mediocre sale gives good returns.

But NBK was at 22.00-23.00, before announcement of results, then fell to 17.00. now recovered a bit to 18.00. Its still taken a thorough beating considering it was in the 40's before the bear market set in.
