Mama Mbogas are smart. They have got their biasharas to take care of.

Greedy when others are fearful,Very fearful when others are greedy - to paraphrase WB

You buy shares for DIVIDENDS & CAPITAL APPRECIATION & not for sodas. Will kubaffs riot bila sodas?

Greedy when others are fearful,Very fearful when others are greedy - to paraphrase WB

Actually,it makes sense to cut back on those costs - having gotten so much as dividend,and say,given the total number of shares one has,for example,if the total dividend is even five times worth a soda,I'd not grumble that Safaricom is NOT spending 'my money' to buy me a soda (for giving them money to grow the company). But as a Zain die hard - I can't wait to see what a circus it will be.

The problem with equality is that we desire that it be with those that have more than us rather that those that have less

As stated elsewhere...the retained retained earnings will not translate into anything for the individual share holder

Take your soda and run...

Me first,U next

NAIROBI,Aug 19 (Reuters) - Kenya's leading mobile firm Safaricom (SCOM.NR) said on Wednesday it was considering a share consolidation to cut the number of its shares in the market.


'There are a number of proposals to try and reduce the number of shares in circulation,' chief executive officer Michael Joseph told a news conference after the firm's first annual general meeting. (Reporting by Duncan Miriri)
