You guys will melt like that man who wanted to reach the sun.we are small men in the game.

Kwani @mlennyma you have given up before the first salvo has been thrown - agm.

The issue is to educate all to hold their shares back.. Not to return completed forms of acceptance.

I doubt all brokers have a cut to this one...... It's not the number of wanjikus that matter here but the middle class that's holding about 25% to 30%.

Let it de-list. Take your 14/- and the dividend & RUN. 14/- cash in hand is worth 20/- of 'potential' value. See KK. Learn.

Hapana vvs, let it delist at the right price, the situation of AK is very different from the one of KK, remember KK had wars with government, KPL, Employees among others and no price had been declared, due diligence issues and govt (read nyoike)had not cleared the takeoveretc.
AK came straight with a price, no wars, govt cleared straight and we all know its valued more than the offer price. Shareholders shouldn't be made to fear, hang on to your shares and get a better price.

But remember the true value of ak as at now is less than 3b

Looks @ wazua it is only King G & Jamani against this sweet deal. The majority are for it. Let us support the deal & end the circus.

If one paid 20 or 30 for AK then it was out of extreme optimism or speculation. Folks paid much higher prices for many shares including Neveready & Olympia. Or even for solid firms like SCBK [330], EABL [420], etc

Look at KK when it was trading at 16 due to optimism that Puma will pay 20. BTW, I did think Puma would pay at least 18 but I was hoping for 22. I was wrong. Dead wrong. Today, if someone were to offer me 15 I would bail out. At 14, I would give it some serious thought. At 13, I will consider it. At 12, I would remain open to the idea if I could re-invest the proceeds elsewhere & it was a quick deal [not waiting 6 months].

Therefore it does NOT matter if you paid 30 for AK. That is history. The value is not 30. The expected 2013 EPS is 1/- which would imply 30x PER. Even if the EPS for 2014 was 2/- that's a PER of 15. There's an OPPORTUNITY COST to every decision

Iam in the profit territory on ak and i have signed to accept.
