some people are still looking at this and thinking its just rock in the soil. brothers and sisters, please look keenly and u shall see that this is a diamond!!! healthy dividend policy, extreme deficit in housing demand vs supply, tailored schemes for major corporates such as NMG as well as long repayment terms in its current loan book; quickly reveal that this is not a firm to dissapoint shareholders any time soon
HF 90,000 ABP 3.83; KQ 414,100 ABP 7.92; MTN 23,800 ABP 6.45

From the site I can see a number of HF cases... http://bit.ly/S9vJNg - HF's penalty interest charges. http://bit.ly/S9vJNg - Class action against HF They also have some case studies - http://www.irac.co.ke/cstudies.html
Is this organization in existence to date? Now they have more ammunition! Greedy when others are fearful. Very fearful when others are greedy - to paraphrase Warren Buffett

Then it crashed from 40s to low teens. Correct me if i am wrong, but there have been two rights issues since when it was at 40s hence dilution and resultant decrease in price. Also factor their bond, since I assume its some of the same long term shareholders that bought into the bond...

Also factor their bond, since I assume its some of the same long term shareholders that bought into the bond... A bonus/split should 'drop' the price since there is a dilution. A Rights Issue should not dilute the EPS, etc in the medium term. Look at DTBK with 3 Rights Issues in 5 years. Still going strong both in EPS as well as share price. I like the current management. That's not the issue. I like the spread of business (within the RE sector). It's populist & untested laws/regulations that worry me. Look at KK & Total. One day price controls (populist) come in. Now there are problems coz the firms can't pass on forex fluctuations or oil price fluctuations along in real time. The same can happen with populist control of interest rates. If the cost of money rises rapidly (as it did a few months ago) then banks can't pass on 100% of the cost lest firms/individuals default. Banks 'eat' the loss especially the smaller banks with smaller 'cheap' deposit bases. KPLC had a Rights Issue. The populist measure by ERC to 'freeze' the triennial increase for KPLC (which increase KPLC touted as a plus in the IM) hurt KPLC future expansion & profits. These populist measures are very popular but hurt the firms. If wages are 'frozen' even when an increase is deserved, you lose motivation. Same here. I hope you get my point.

Is this organization in existence to date? Now they have more ammunition! Show me a single bank worldwide that does not have problematic Non Performing Accounts and cases in courts. NPAs are a norm and so are the cases! Besides, the HF cases in that site are for tiny amounts. Also note that chances of the site winning any cases in the future has been reduced by the fact that banks today have invested in high tech core banking systems with 99.999999999999999999% accuracy. Loan contract letters today are c20 fine printed pages with enough clauses to cover the banks interest and are accompanied by other 101 documents. By the time some realize that HF is a diamond in the rough we will have made HIGH capital gains + received sweet dividends

(Sio uzee  ) HF has indeed recorded impressive performance. 5 year CAGR is a whooping 53.30%. 2012 has been a tough year but now all signs are set for a good going forward. 2013 HF will be shining and we will also be laughing all the way to the bank  .
