I'm sailing in the same boat. Bought sukari at 14.00, it now tastes bitter than Malariaquinne.


@Caramba and @Gordon Gekko relax. You don't know what it means to be 'shaved'. If memory serves me right, I remember being conned Ksh. 49 for that mumias thingy. I remain bald to date Sad Sad Sad

The con game was called Mumias Sugar Secondary IPO 2006. The prospectus / info memo was all sugar coated, honey stuffed and with a few chocolate flakes. All for a SUPER DISCOUNTED PRICE OF ONLY Ksh. 49.50 (NOT 49)

Ironically, this was implemented under the Economic Recovery Strategy for Wealth and Employment Creation (ERSWEC) Programme.d'oh! d'oh!

My worst ever was buying 600,000 safcom shares at 5 bob back in the days before and after listing then it went sub 3. Sold them at below 3 and wrote off a net loss of just above a mita, accepted and moved on smile

I know! Learnt my lesson but at the time I weighed between how long it would take for me to recover and opportunities in real estate developments that I had and opted for the latter. Time value of money. But what a lossPray
